I N addition to the exhibits on their stand
at the Commercial Motor Show, the Rover Co., Ltd., are holding a display of Land-Rovers with associated equipment in their service depot at Seagrave Road, London, S.W.6,from Septem,ber 26-October 4. This private exhibition (admission free) is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Yet another use for the Land-Rover is demonstrated by an 88-in.-wheelbase model with a fifth-wheel turntable and coupled to a Dixon-Bate low-loading semi-trailer to form a cross-country articulated outfit. The semi-trailer, which has a carrying capacity of 33 cwt., has a wooden platform body.
It is mounted on 7.50 by 16-in. (8-ply) tyres, the wheels and tyres being interchangeable with those of the prime mover. independent suspension for the semi-trailer wheels is provided by Flexitor
trailing-arm rubber-in-torsion units. Th. system affords a loading height of I f 9-Es in. unladen.,
The semi-trailer frame is of all-welde construction and is deeply stepped to giv a level platform. It is made up o channel-section side members and tubula cross-members. The swan-neck drawba gives maximum articulation over roug ground. Girling hydraulic brakes at directly connected to the Land-Rove braking system by a Jacobi self-sealin quick-action coupling.
The Land-Rover, which has a thret seat cab, is fitted with an 18-in.-diamete fifth wheel on a universal mountini When the semi-trailer is disconnected, a all-steel truck body may quickly h fitted.
Novel to this country, but widely use in the U.S.A., where it is manufacture. by the Fre-Lock Corporation, is a free wheeling hub. It is to be produced this country specially for the Land-Rove by the Barton Motor. Co., Ltd., Piymoutl Fitted to the front wheels of foul wheel-drive vehicles the hub allows then to rotate freely when front-wheel driv is not engaged. This reduces wear on th front-axle assembly and drive shaftt whilst reducing transmission whine ani improving fuel economy by 1-2 tn.p.s when applied to the Land-Rover.
Several complete, specially equipped vehicles are included in the displas, which also contains a host of power-take off-operated devices ranging from chair saws to crop sprayers.
