THE CM May 8 issue featuring recovery makes interesting reading. With all that pushbutton expensive hardware the mind boggles and the finance houses cheer. But whatever happened to all those all powered recovery vehicles designed and built by "Yer actual own motor engineers" for their own use?
We built such a vehicle (see page 739 Commercial Motor January 10,1958) over 25 years ago, and which we still have, although needing restoring. None of the "writers up of" got the facts right when doing so.
This vehicle has thirteen forward speeds; seven reverse speeds; four lifting speeds; and four winching speeds.
We ran this vehicle for seven years, and it never refused a job. S. J. HOOPER Star Motors (Highgate) London N19
