(\NE of the new International heavy IL/class is the A6 5-ton chassis, this having a six-eylindered overhead-valve engine of 67 b.h.p., five-speed gearbox and double-reduction bark axle. It is shown with a short wheelbase measuring only 11 ft. 8 ins., in which form it is suitable for work as the basis of an articulated vehicla carrying loads up to 10 tons.
The A5 six-cylinder model with a wheelbase of 17 ft. 6 ins., is shown carrying a 30-seater single-deck saloon bus body.
A smaller type is the AL3 24-3-ton chassis which has a six-cylindered sidevalve engine of 53.5 b.h.p. and a fourspeed gearbox. At Olympia this is seen with drop-side lorry body and all-enclosed driver's cab.
Another new lorry in the International range is the A2 30-40-cwt. vehicle having a wheelbase of 13 ft. 4 ins. This is shown with Beadle fixedside body having two timber bolsters.
The display is completed by one of the powerful International model-20 tractors equipped for industrial use. In this form the tractor has pneumatic tyres and adequate weather protection D28
in the form of a stoutly built cab for the driver, and it is suitable for severe work such as that common in railway yards ; with front-buffer attachment it is quite capable of manceuvring railway trucks on sidings. Nowadays, this is frequently done by motor.
The International concern in America caters largely for the requirements of agriculturists, and in producing road vehicles, has had to reckon upon their being used with no particular care by farmers and others who expect to tra verse poor roads and rough ground, and who want absolute reliability season in and season out with a minimum of attention to minor adjustments and main tenance generally. Great Britain is only one of the company's many export markets, for International machines are to be seen in most parts of the world, and, judged from our standards, the vehicles are undoubtedly of sturdy build and sound design.
In the past year or so the company has turned its attention to producing rather heavier vehicles for general roadhaulage purposes. Up to March, 1930, for instance, the 3-tomier was the biggest chassis available for general sale in this country, but now we have the 67 b.h.p. 5-tanner which, in short wheelbase form, and used as a tractor with semi-trailers, is quite up to the standard needed for hauling loads of as much as 10 tons. The five-speed gearbox fitted to this model is an excellent feature, because it means that on good level stretches a high average speed and fuel economy are possible.—The Internatioind Harvester Co. of Great Britain, Ltd., 259, City Road, London, E.C.1.
