The COLONIAL VETERINARY SURGEON minuted that the presont cart took 200 gallous , or about 2,000lbs, of water.

As the water moved while being carried so did the weight on the animul vary, and especially so on mueren
surfaces or when turning. A certain weight must always be on the neck so na to prevent the cart tipping up. Only a narrow track was watered necessitating the use of more carts and bullocks to water a given surface.
