Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A VERSATILE self-powered floorI-1 cleaning machine has been added to the range of industrial cleaning equipment manufactured by S. R. Cowlard, Ltd., Birmingham Road, Bromsgrove, Worcs. Known as the C50A, it is a battery-operated combined dry or wet-scrubber and drier.

This new machine, which, it is claimed, enables a man to scrub and dry up to 500 yd. of floor an hour, is particularly suitable for treating floors covered with a compact surface of oil and grease.

It consists of an aluminium base suspended on an adjustable front castor and two rear wheels on which is mounted a divided tank. Half is for the clean solution of water and detergent, and the other for dirty water.

Powered by two Exide 12-volt traction batteries, a B.T.H. 1 h.p. motor drives the twin rotary brushes, and a h.p. suction motor and fan exhaust air from the dirty-water tank. All controls are mounted near the handles of the tubular-steel framework.

The cleansing solution is gravity fed from the four-gallon tank to a sprinkler system ahead of the brushes. As the machine passes over the scrubbed portion of the floor the dirty water is collected by trailing squeegee rubbers attached to the suction bar at the rear and sucked vertically up into the other half of the tank.

When treating a surface of oil and grease, heavy scratch brushes with selfcleaning steel prongs are fitted to the machine.

Sole selling agents for the C50A are Industrial Colloids, Ltd., Altrinchatn, Cheshire.
