AREAR canopy to• protect meat during loading and unloading is fitted to a Thames Trader van supplied to the
Evesham and District Butchers Co., Ltd., by Coulters Garage (Evesham), Ltd. Bodywork was built by Messrs. Drew Bros., Framton Cottrell, to the design of Mr. Gerald Clifton, managing director of the operators.
The vehicle has a County Market Loader device, but instead of there being double rear doors a tailboard and canopy have been provided. The tailboard drops to the ground to form a ramp giving entry to a rear well, whilst the canopy, is supported by stays when open. A tubular damper is fitted on each side of the canopy for smooth closing.
Floor sections of the body were welded together to prevent seepage of fluids, and the insulant comprises a 2-in, layer of expanded polystyrene.
