TWOyears ago, Dennis Bros., Ltd., of Guildford, and the local division of the St. John Ambulance. Brigade collaborated in the preparation of an ambulance for duty in the town. Recently another vehicle was scrapped, and it was decided to introduce a special type of ambulance expressly for the transportation over long distances of sick persons, as distinct from emergency and accident work.
As a result of the co-operation of the concern in question and the Guildford Division of the Brigade, it was decided to employ a Dennis six-cylinder Dart chassis, similar to that which is proving so popular as the basis of 20-seater vehicles. The body work of this ambulance is a distinct contrast to the usual type. Clear-glass windows are used, and there is seating accommodation for two friends, in addition to the regular attendant. The colour scheme is black and white.
Between the saloon and the cab there is a sliding door. On the near side at the front are two entrance doors, and at the rear are double doors.
On the front bulkhead is a wash basin, fed by a five-gallon water tank
in the roof ; this -division also carries cupboards for medical supplies. Under one of the running boards is an emergency stretcher, which can be placed over the seats on the off side of the body.
The external equipment includes bumpers, a stiot light, fog lamp, two bells with distinctive notes, and a flood light at the rear which is automatically switched on when the doors are opened.
