- Description
This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 26 June 1961 "At 1:30 o'clock this morning the Massey Agricultural College bed-pushing team broke the New Zeeland record for the event. The record had been held by Lincoln College students, their total being 210 miles. Although the record was broken at 1:30 a.m., the Massey students kept pushing and increased it to 250 miles. At that juncture they considered the record safe from sniping by other houses of learning, for at least a fortnight."
