Five Vehicles with Edbro Hydraulic Apparatus Supplied to Well-known Operator by Messrs. Brunt Motors
READERS will remember that we announced recently (in our issue dated August 15) that 2,000 International lorries were being imported from America under the Lease-Lend scheme. Rated as a 6-7-tonner, the model is available in three forms—as a short-wheelbase tipper, as a longwheelbase chassis for general purposes and as a tractive unit for use with a semi-trailer.
In the first of these forms the model is standardized with a Gar-Wood allsteel body and tipping gear of the same make, whilst in the third it is supplied normally with a Fruehauf attachment. Depicted on this page, however, is a tipper which has as its basis the long-wheelbase chassis. This machine is one of five, comprising an order received from Pannell (Merchants), Ltd., which has just been completed by Messrs. Brunt Motors, 236, Watford Way, Hendon. It is equipped with Edbro twin-ram hydraulic tipping gear, made by Edwards Bros. (Tippers), Ltd., Bolton, whilst the body was constructed by the operator.
Whilst the standard International tipper has a 5-cubic-yd. body and its wheelbase is 73 ft. 5 ins., this vehicle has a capacity of 8 cubic yds. and a 14-ft. 11-in. wheelbase.
We understand that the order just completed for these five machines constitutes a repeat order, for the operator has long experience of International vehicles. This latest model is certainly attractive in respect of both appearance and capabilities. Whilst the former is undoubtedly impressive, the latter are consequent upon the sturdy construction that characterizes, the chassis, the 100 b.h.p. engine that. powers it and drives through a fivespeed gearbox, and the high quality of the design and equipment that are incorporated.
This range, which is distributed by the International Harvester C. of Great Britain, Ltd., 259, City Road, London, &C.1. is available to operators in possession of licences to acquire granted by the Ministry of War Transport.
