Berlin (carriage)

A Berlin, or Berline, carriage is a type of enclosed four-wheeled carriage with two interior bench seats facing one-another. Initially noted for using two perch rails and having the body suspended by leather straps, called braces, the term continued in use for many carriages even after the suspension system changed to steel springs.
