Brothers Felix and Norman Caldwell of Port Adelaide had two 38hp Crossley charabancs. A27 (PRG 280/1/11/204) was a hire car number issued by the Adelaide City Council; the second was A20 (PRG 280/1/11/526). The Caldwells studied engineering at the SA School of Mines, North Terrace, and along with other innovations, they developed a four wheel drive system for heavy vehicles. They went into business with Henry Vale in Sydney who was himself a pioneer motorist, and whose engineering works built steam locomotives. The Caldwell-Vale four wheel drive heavy haulage vehicles were built until 1916. [SOURCE: Veteran Car Club of S.A.]
