See [
] for the history, data from the table presented on pages 375, 377 of the Groupe VI. - GTnie civil. - Moyens de transport. DeuxiFme partie. Classes 32 (Tome I), part of the series of Rapports du Jury Internationale of the Exposition Unverselle Internationale de 1900 Paris Exposition, hosted on the website of Le Conservatoire numTrique des Arts & MTtiers ([], Accessed 21 August 2005).
BMZ's (Bryansk Engineering Works) online history says these cross-compound engines were nicknamed "Ovechka" ("Sheep" or "Lamb") and were "...the beloved engine of the old railroadmen. Sometime used in extreme conditions, 'O' was unpretentious and faultless, like the most reliable horse."
According to the BMZ history, Od, a modification of the original design, was produced from 1897 to 1902.
