bismarck aircraft handling equipment

1. The launch trolley used to catapult Bismarck’s Arado At-196 appears to be far narrower than the removable rails which leads into the ship’s hangars. so it appears some other wider gauge transport trolley is needed to push the aircraft into and out of the hangars.

Does anyone know of any photos for these transport trolleys?

2. does anyone know if the launch trolley remains attached to the catapult when the aircraft is stowed, does it remain attached to the aircraft the stowed on the transport trolley, or is separated and stored elsewhere?
