I N a body specially built for carrying bread and confectionery, fibre-glass is used to insulate the sides and doors. Dagenham Motors, Ltd., 374 Ealing Road, Alperton; Middx, designed and built the body in close co-operation with the operators, Messrs. Grodzinski, who have had extensive experience in the bakery trade.
To preserve the utmost cleanliness, the interior is lined with aluminium with shaped hardwood fillets in all corners to prevent crumbs lodging in them. As a precaution against crumbs falling from the shelves these are made to overlap.
Loading of the front compartment is assisted by the provision of folding' steps let into the skirt on each side of the body. When closed, these steps conceal the fuel-tank filler on the near side and the spare wheel on the off side. A fixed step is used at the rear.
Flettner roof fittings provide for ventilation. A rack in the driving compartment accommodates packages, such as cakes made to special order.
The bonnet of the Thames oilengined chassis has a locking handle to prevent anyone interfering with the engine.
