Stand No. 26.
THERE will be four exhibits on the Leyland stand, all of them' as one would expectfrom this famous firm, of outstanding excellence.
The first will be a standard, light type, Leyland motor fire pump with a capacity of from 250 to 300 gallons, the chassis having a 36 h.p. engine transmitting power through a worm-driven back axle, the wheels being shod with Avon tyres. The vehicle is equipped with first-aid apparatus and a 35 ft. Ajax extension ladder. This is an entirely new type of fire-engine of small capacity. The second vehicle shown will be a standard rear entrance bus of the Edinburgh type. The chassis has a 40-50 h.p. engine, power being transmitted through a worm-driven rear axle. The vehicle is shod with Henley tyres.
The third exhibit will be a 23-seater pifeumatic-tyred char-a-banes equipped with the, patent Fleetwood hood. The engine is of 30 h.p., and the drive is, ae usual, by worm gear. The wheels are shod with Michelin twin pneumatic tyres, the wheels themselves being of the disc type and readily removable. The fourth exhibit will be an extremely interesting vehicle, being the 3 ton overtype all-round tipper van, having a Bromilow and Edward tipping gear. The. engine of this chassis develops 30 h.p., and drives through a worm gear, the wheels being, shod with Dunlop tyres. The wheelbase is particularly short, and the ability to off-load to either side or the end is sure, to arrest the attention of municipal engineers and others interested in tipping vehicles.
