The British Guy trucks were rugged featuring 4-cylinder engines fitted with a detachable cylinder head and 4-speed gearbox and fitted with caterpillar tracks. The half-tracks were prone to serious wear in the desert sand eating through bushings and selals and slowed them down quite a bit. They followed Sturt Creek past Lake Stretch Billiluna Homestead and onto Gregory’s Salt Sea Lake Gregory and then the little used Canning Stock Route to Well 48. After reaching Yeeda they crossed the Fitzroy River and then onto Broome. Unfortunately the film produced during the expedition “Grip of the Wanderlust†and shown to the then Prince of Wales later King Edward VIII has now been lost.

228913 May 1836; 2 Great Newport Street London. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Corner of second leaf cut away on opening of letter and still adhering to wafer. Folded twice. Addressed to 'W. Upcott Esq.' Upcott has been 'so kind as to invite Mr Fields and me to spend an evening with you in going over some of your Literary treasures' and Rodd has 'an indistinct idea of some particular evening being named' by Upcott. In the hope that the present evening was not intended he asks Upcott to send word of which evening will suit his convenience. In a long postscript Rodd expresses the hope that - should the present evening have been intended for the meeting - Upcott will excuse Rodd's forgetfulness 'and impute it to the right cause the having of one's thoughts in a Sale-room added to which I had been travelling all the previous night'. Rodd was highly regarded for his knowledge and fair dealing. He issued several catalogues of Americana. 'Mr Field sic' was presumably James Thomas Fields 1817-1881 of the celebrated Boston firm Ticknor and Fields who started in the trade at the age of fourteen and whose name was 'Field' until later in life. 3 May 1836; 2 Great Newport Street [London]. unknown
