CANTON
MESSRS. DODWELL & CO. LTD., SOLE DISTRIBUTORS FOR HONGKONG AND SOUTH CHINA OF MORRIS CARS, TRUCKS AND BUSES,
HAVE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING CERTIFIED
STATEMENT FROM THE KWANG CHOW BUS
COMPANY, CANTON —
On August 3rd, 1932, an official test was carried out on my Morris Commercial 2 ton Motor Bus by a representative of the Motor Dept. of Messrs. Dodwell and Co., Ltd.
The bus was driven all day from 7.0 A.M. - 10.0 P.M. under normal working conditions, ie. all recognised stopping places were observed and in addition, the bus was stopped whenever a passenger wished to alight or fresh passengers to join.
The total distance covered in the day was 131 miles and this figure was accomplished on exactly 2 (two) tins of gasolene (10 American gallons), thus giving an average of 13.1 working miles per gallon. Frevious to the foregoing, another official test was performed on my bus to ascertain the actual distance which could be covered without stopping on one (1) American gallon of gasolene.
I attended this latter test in person and was shown and convinced that the distance which could be covered is 16.68 miles.
I certify that the above figures are correct.
Signed.
The Kwang Chow Bus Company.
