PRODUCTION Of plastics tiles was I increasing raoidly and transport difficulties were being incurred, Mr. C. Moorehouse, works manager of Thermo Acoustic Products, Ltd., Stafford, told the West Midland .Licensing. Authority. Mr. W. P. James, at Hanley last Friday. Mr. Moorehouse was supporting an application by Mr. W.. R. Nye,. of Stafford, who wanted a B licence for a 5-ton vehicle to carry the products of Thermo Acoustic all over the country. Mr. James adjourned the application in order to give an opportunity for details to be produced on delays caused by lack of transport.
In evidence, Mr. Nye said that Thermo Acoustics produced various types of plastics tiles, and they would be able to give him sufficient work to occupy the 'vehicle for at least three days a week. At present he had a C-licence van, but if the application were granted, this would be surrendered. At present some of this traffic was being moved by Stafford hauliers but they could not deal with it all. Replying to Mr. 0. H. P. Beames. objeCting on behalf of the British Transport Commission, Mr. Nye said that the existing hauliers would not suffer any abstraction of traffic.
Mr. Moorehouse stated that over the past eight months their production had doubled. When in difficulties they did not use British Railways as the rail services were not quick enough.
PALLETS EARN TONNAGE RISE
BECAUSE the paper-making industry which he served employed pallets to an increased extent, and his existing vehicle was not suitable, Mr. James Bryce, of Lanark Road, Juniper Green, Edinburgh, waslast week granted a 44-ton A-licence vehicle in place of one of 31 tons by the Scottish Licensing Authority, Mr. W. F. Quin.
Mr. Bryce said in evidence that the use of pallets demanded a longer platform base and a six-wheeler in place of hi S existing four-wheeler, if the traffic were to be carried effectively. The pallets had to rest on the floor of the vehicle. He had never previously applied for increased capacity, said Mr. Bryce, and he gave an assurance that his normal user would remain unchanged.
U.S. GOODS IN TRANSIT LOSSES
ONE of the hardest-hit sectors of the United States business world in the current crime wave was that dealing with goods in transit, Mr. Jack Seide, president of U.S. Bohaco Alarm Systems, Inc. (who is visiting this country), said on Monday. The annual toll was between £100m. and £150m.
U.S. PRODUCTION HIGHER
A MERICAN commercial vehicle pro
duction during the first eight months of 1960 totalled 661,086 vehicles, nearly 8 per cent. more than in the corresponding period last year.
