NEWCOMERS to the light section of the commercial-vehicle industry are the Hillman 15-cwt. and 6-cwt. chassis. These models are the logical developments of cars produced at the Coventry,works of the Hillman concern.
_Although the 15-cwt. chassis has been evolved from the car prototype, details have been amended to give the required additional strength for commercial service. For example, the tyres on the 15-cwt, machine have a section of DO less than 6 ins., whilst springing, wings and wheels are all of a specially robust type. This machine has a six-eylindered engine with east-iron pistons, and drives through a four-speed gearbox with a silent third ratio via an open propeller shaft to a semi-floating-type
rear axle. The chassis in this priced at £190.
Another exhibit is the van finished in maroon with gold lettering. Its price as shown is £243 15s. Yet another van on a 15-cwt. chassis is specially intended for baker's use. It has racks to take 16 standard-size slides and is complete with 12 bread trays. In order further to increase the carrying capacity, the roof has been generally strengthened, and it is provided with an outside rail. The cost of this vehicle is £257 10s.
Finally, there is the 6-cwt. light van, which is an absolutely new model. As shown and finished, it is listed at £146, but this figure is reduced by £3 10s.
when supplied in lead colour. The case is wheelbase of this small van is 7 ft. 8 ins., and in order to ensure adequate tyre equipment a section of 4i ins, is adopted.—Hillman Motor Car Co., Ltd., Penley, Coventry.
