I'm pretty sure the plans were in the Carstens freight car plan book (along wit a Susquehanna - ex-Erie - 04700 series caboose).

Yes, these were built. I have (not readily accessible and curved with age 
so not very scannable) a stereo view of one of these. These drawings have 
also appeared . . . . somewhere. And they appear in one of the Edison early 
films going through, no less, a rotary car dumper. I am sure that the last 
instance can be found with some diligent Google searching.
