The first Bohemian-Mährische Maschinenfabrik was founded in 1871 and was established in 1928 in the important Czech machine factory CKD. Bohuslav Marik (1854-1919), who entered the company in 1877, developed the company into "the leading company of this kind in Bohemia" in various positions (see ÖBL VI, p. 92). In 1899 he brought his brother Václav (1849-1926) into the company and he founded the department for the construction of locomotives and Tendern. By 1917 nearly 700 locomotives and 250 tenders were built. "These were mainly high-speed train locomotives with steam preheaters, the use of which was a overthrow in the Austrian. Railway transport meant." (ÖBL VI, p. 92f.) The double sheets show on the left a view of photography, as well as on the right longitudinal and cross-section and basic plan as a technical drawing; among them technical information. – Tables clean and well preserved.
