Our luggage rack in its historical context: On 21 august 1919 the central office for railway equipment studies (ocem) was created with the state network as its main instigator in order to design new rolling stock: locomotives, cars and wagons *. The ocem was dissolved on 1 january 1938 with the creation of the société nationale des chemins de fer français (sncf).
