A RATHER more comprehensive dieplay of trailers will be seen at 'Olympia this year than was shown in

1929. J. Brockhouse and Co., Ltd., West Bromwich, will show, on Stand 153, 2-tanners, a 4-tonner and a big four-wheeler for loads up to 8 .tons. Heavy trailers have not hitherto been shown by the Brockhouse concern, but the company's familiar Gibson light trailers will again be seen this year.

Cranes (Dereham), Ltd., Dereham, Las, during the past year or so, produced a fine 10-ton variable-wheelbase timber drag on low-pressure tyres, references to which have been made in past issues of The _.aornmercia Motor, and on Stand 140 visitors will be able to see it in its latest form. In conjunction with such tractors as the Latil KTL model this drag has proved remarkably well suited to its special task. A feature of the company's 7-tanner, also to be displayed, is that the turntable comprises two dished pressings welded to the main frame and to the forecarriage, and embodies a bolster-pin casting having a tapered-,roller bearing. The company's third exhibit will be a 15-20-cwt. two-wheeler.

Details of the trailers to be shown by R. A. Dyson and Co., Ltd., Liverpool, on Stand 142 are not yet available, but something of interest may be expected.
