This article suggests the above were called "brag loads" and done for fun, but they'd probably still stack quite a few on and it talks about the rig: https://www.toronto.com/community-story ... d-loggers/
I'm not reading this, but Googling led to a lengthy paper from 1925 that examines techniques and equipment: https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/cgi ... s_bulletin
