Danish cancel

Hi, can someone tell me what is the meaning of these so-called bridge
cancels?
I see "10.1.36.15-20", etc. I know the first three are the dd/mm/yy, but
what about the others?
For a picture example, see last one of
http://www.postalstationery.dk/postmarks.htm

Thanks.

"15-20" represents the 1500-2000 time period (3-8 pm).

Thanks, makes sense, but I saw other cancels with 5-7 for example, would a
post office be opened that early?

Maybe, maybe not.

If there is nothing following the "5-7" then it's
in 24 hour time and was probably used on mail from
the first emptying of the mailboxes.

If there is a letter following the "5-7" then its
probably 12 hour time, and more than likely means
5-7 PM. In German 12 hour cancels, V (vormittags)
is used for AM and N (nachmittags) is used for PM.

This timecode is used in the so called type c bridge cancels. It describes a
time interval, using two integers between 0 and 24, as in your cancel, which
is 15-20, meaning "some time between 3 o´clock in the afternoon and 8
o´clock in the evening".
The type c appears (afaik) for the first time in 1910´s and commonly used
until 1950´s .. some even much later.
