Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A MORRIS-COMMERCIAL chassis forms the basis of an ambulance which Cunard Commercial Body Building Co., Ltd., Abbeydale Road, Wembley, Middx., recently completed for Stewart and Ardern, Ltd., The Vale, Acton, London, W.3, sole distributors of Morris-Commercial vehicles in London. Framed in hardwood and reinforced with steel plates and angles, the sides, roof and rear doors are panelled with 18 s.w.g. aluminium. Access to the patients' compartment can be gained from either the rear or through a doorway on the near side at the front.

A stretcher is fitted on the near side, whilst a locker extends along the full length on the off side. This is provided with hinged covers, on which seating is provided for five persons.

An attendant's seat at the front has runners to allow for a second stretcher to be carried in cases of emergency, and for this purpose the top can be wound out to give the stretcher sufficient clearance from the .bulkhead.

Air-intake apertures are provided in the canopy roof and partition, and there is an extractor at the rear.

The spare wheel is housed behind the near-side seat in the cab, and access to it is through the near-side cab door. a8
