Austin Crompton Parkinson Electric Vehicles Ltd., Crown Avenue, Duke stown, Tredegar, Monmouthshire.

TVVO of the electric vehicles on this stand represent a departure by Austin Crompton Parkinson from previous practice. They are based on similar chassis but one has an aerial-lift platform and is said to be the first battery-electric vehicle produced in this country incorporating this type of unit. The second is a long-wheelbase version of the same chassis with a special body for use on speech and communication research by the University of Edinburgh.

The Skyworker aerial hydraulic-lift platform on the Morrison Electricar F36/40 chassis is designed for street-lighting repair and overhead maintenance work in factories and so on and a pair of hinged booms provide 400deg horizontal rotation with a horizontal reach of 28ft and a vertical reach of 35ft. The research-unit exhibit is on the longer wheelbase FL36 /40 which has Powermiser Thyristor control like the aerial-lift exhibit.

Two other exhibits by the concern are Morrison Electricar D36/25 chassis, one being fitted out as a personnel carrier and the other as a special bakery-delivery vehicle.
