Regulation #2 (vide Gazette 21st Dec 1889) allows 40 passengers to be carried in one car in addition to two servants of the Company.

No 3 states that the passengers held to weigh shall be 140 lbs each, which does not appear excessive as the average weight of a fully loaded car will contain 42 people at average weight of 140 lbs, = 2 tons 12 cwt, not 2 tons stated in regulation.

4. The load for testing is only 5 cwt in excess.

Regulation St. 8 allows maximum speed of 8 miles per hour for the tests, and the speed fixed was minimum of 9 miles per hour.

This test is therefore carried out under conditions very slightly in excess of those in ordinary working - about 4 per cent and the velocity about 12 per cent in excess of those allowed by regulation.

During the test, the car was under ordinary full load - two servants of the Company being required on the car during the test.

5. With regard to the velocity under the Regulation.

The Cable Test.

7. This has formerly been under discussion and I concur with the opinion expressed by Mr. Cooper.

For the purposes of testing, the load applied was 220...
