CFIANGES in tanker chassis design during recent years had made it impossible to continue maintenance by interchange of tanks, as in the past, and it was now essential to have a spare vehicle.
This was submitted to the Yorkshire Licensing Authority, Major F. S. Eastwood, at Bridlington last week, when Eastaugh Bros. Ltd., Hull, sought an
1
additional A-licensed tanker.
The company operated 14 vehicles, all on bulk haulage, said Mr. R. E. Paterson. Overtime and the employment of additional fitters had increased the company's wage bill by £4,000 in 1960 for maintenance alone.
A second application sought the addition of an articulated tanker to take over • the work for John M. Hamilton and Co., Ltd., Hull, formerly done under C licence.
An objection by the B.T.C. had been withdrawn, and both applications were granted.
