DUR ENGINE manufacwars have their own chibits at this year's Scotdi Show with power ratings nging from 55 to 370bhp. )w-revving high-torque enn are much in evidence 'many stands.
Many more fuel-saving tessories are now on the Mug than in 1977, reflecng greatly increased fuel osts, and a number of them, a exhibited at Glasgow. In field of workshop equipant micro-chip technology is had a great impact, with agnostic equipment in parlular now becoming very rphisticated.
CM technical staff here deAbe a representative selec)n of the accessories and iuipment being displayed at elvin Hall and Partick ansport Depot.

The main feature of stand 37 at Kelvin Hall, that of L. Gardner and Sons Ltd, 124 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, is an 8LXI3 rated at 186.4kW (250bhp) gross at 1850rprn. The 8LX13 has a higher powerto-weight ratio than any previous Gardner engine. It is available with either forward or rear sump well arrangement.
Developed from the 6LXB, the 6LXC is designed to meet the legal power requirements for 32-ton vehicles and develops 150kW (201bhp) at 1920rpm. Maximum torque is attained at 1100rpm. A 6LXC is exhibited by James Bowen & Sons Ltd, Wester Hailes Works, Murrayburn Road, Edinburgh, on stand Eight Cummins diesel engines are included among the exhibits at the Scottish Show, though one only on Cummins own stand — 22 at Kelvin Hall.
