"HELPING the police with their inquiries" took on a rather less sinister note than usual when a group of senior officers attended a demonstration by Hands Trailers at Pocklington last week. In fact chief engineer N. F. Watson was explaining some of the ways of beating that notorious character Jack-the-Knife: there was particular interest in load-sensing brake equipment. As well as the police about 300 operators and other guests turned up. Hands showed a single-axle .version of their Minidrop semitrailer (introduced in January) which has Neway air suspension, carries up to 6 tons in the main well deck, costs £839 as a chassis in 24ft. 6in. platform size and is known as the USLL6. Also on show for the first time in public was the HandsBonallack 30-ton TIR semi-trailer equipped to take a heavy -duty plastics cover.
