In order to prove the truth, of this story Mr J. G. Andrews, importer and MAXWELL AGENT in South Canterbury, gave a demonstration to the people of Temuka on July 26, 1915. Taking, a shipment of eight "25's", not long unpacked, one car was turned up ready for the road, while the remaining seven, just as they came out of the cases, were attached to the car under test by means of ropes. A steersman accompanied each car, and the aggregate weight touched close on the seventon mark.
