What is a "partition coach"

[NW Mailing List]

Good afternoon:

I was looking at the attached page from a 1953 N&W
Consist Book.  Trains 25 and 26 included a "partition
coach" which I am unfamilar with.  It is also the only
train which included a schematic for aligning
vestibules.  Also, unlike other pages, it is missing
the notes A through F.

I'd welcome information about what a partition coach
was or other aspects about the car alignment in the
consist.

Thank you,
