This waggon was attached to a draught horse and used to carry heavy loads efficiently without stressing the back of the horse.
On the 17th of September 1829, 5 waggons of wheat (around 400 bushels) were sent to T Williams in Launceston. (Diary of William Archer, 17 Sep 1829). Just 5 days later an additional 5 waggons (370 bushels) were loaded for Mr Williams (Diary of William Archer, 22 Sep 1829).
