General notes:
Image held by North Melbourne Library. Elevation, plans and section. The intricacy of design and construction of utility vehicles in the early part of this century is highlighted in this drawing. Rubbish was loaded from above the horse drawn cart and emptied by cranking a handle. The driver was seated on top of the cart to the right. Concern with public sanitation is confirmed by the galvanised iron garbage container within the cart. the drawing is dated 1909.
