Engineer Frank Bickerton spent most of the 1912 winter working to convert it to a sledge, constructing brakes out of a pair of geological drills, and a steering system from the landing gear. It was first tested on 15 November 1912, and subsequently assisted in laying depots for the summer sledging parties, but its use on the expedition was minimal.
