Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

FOUR new goods models have been introduced by the G.M.C. Truck and Coach Division, Michigan, U.S.A. All are normal-control six-wheelers powered by V-6 petrol engines and the standard basic types have gross weight ratings of 15 tons 12 cwt. and 19 tons 3 cwt., each version being available with either vacuum or air brakes. Heavy-duty axles are offered, and these increase the weight ratings to 20 tons 2 cwt. and 21 tons 11 cwt. respectively.

Low cab-floor height is one of the features claimed for the new vehicles, this height being 3 ft. 2 in., with 3-ft. 6-in.long running boards 2 ft. above ground level. Ease of engine access is another claimed feature, the alligator bonnets lifting by 4 ft. to give generous engine exposure. All the models have doubledrive rear bogies, with third differentials.
