47. Commercial Travellers' Luggage

General.—1. Commercial travellers will each be allowed to take with them free of charge 112 lb. weight of luggage, including personal luggage and bona fide samples properly packed (other than motor-bicycles) for exhibition only and not for sale.

2. The maximum quantity of bona fide samples and personal luggage which any commercial traveller will be allowed to carry at the rates specified in paragraph 4 or paragraph 5 of this regulation is 10 cwt. or 200 cubic feet, exclusive of the free allowance of 112 lb. Any additional quantity, if sent by express, or passenger train, will be charged at the rates provided in paragraph 9 of Regulation 46 for excess luggage, or it may be consigned as "goods" and conveyed by goods or mixed trains, at goods rates (Class C).

3. These rates apply to bona fide samples for exhibition only. If the samples or any portion thereof are sold or otherwise disposed of parcel rates will be charged. Where a commercial traveller who has already made a rail journey, accompanied by his samples, returns to his home station without such samples, he will not be granted the allowance of 112 lb. on any subsequent samples he may carry until the original lot is returned to the home station.
