JUST A SHORT note to correct some misinformation in a piece about Allelys' transformer move in CM21 November. The article states that they
moved a 638-tonne transformer. This is incorrect. The actual load weighed 304 tonnes. The gross weight with the load, trailer and three tractors was 638 tonnes. Three trucks were used for most of the journey: an MAN TGX 8x4 pulling with an 8x4 MAN TGA and an 8x4 Daf XF
pushing. Another 8x4 Daf XF ran as a back-up tractor, providing assistance on the hillier sections of the route. Keep up the good work with CM, I've taken it regularly for 55 years! Yes, I did start very young. Richard Tew Bugbrooke, Northants
