A bus-load of schoolboys driving across North Terrace, Adelaide

c. 1912, Photograph, PRG 280/1/11/526

A bus-load of schoolboys waving flags driving across North Terrace in Adelaide on their way to cheer for their school at an outdoor event. A researcher has suggested that the vehicle is probably a Daimler, due to the distinctive shaped fluted top tank on the radiator, and that the vehicle is better described as a charabanc. Another researcher believes that the vehicle is a S.C.A.T. The Veteran Car Club of S.A. has provided the following information: '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.'
