Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A CONTRACT has been placed by the t public works department of Malaya for 70 Albion _Chieftain CH3AT tipper chassis. The contract, valued at more than £120,000, calls for the Leyland oilengined chassis to be fitted with Edbro B. and E. three-way tipping gear. Dumper bodies of 6-cu.-yd. capacity will be fitted in Malaya.

More space between the front of cabs of Leyland Beaver 14B.10 tractors, and the fronts of attached semi-trailers will be provided as a result of modifications. This will give ample clearance for manceuvring in confined spaces, especially when a 26-ft. long 12-ton semi-trailer is used.

The modifications will include mounting the spare wheel carrier horizontally under the frame within the wheelbase. The battery box will be mounted across the chassis frame immediately behind the cab with break-away couplings attached to it by brackets.
