and night with relief drivers, Mr. H. J. Harris, managing director of Harris and May, Ltd., and Bradley's (Plymouth), Ltd., both of Plymouth, told the Western Licensing Authority last week.
Bradley's successfully applied to add a vehicle weighing 7 tons 19 cwt. to their A licence. Mr. S. W. Nelson, the Authority, said that he did not think it good that vehicles should be "treblebanked" with drivers working round the clock. In such circumstances no maintenance could be done.
Mr. Harris said that it was intended that the two companies should be amalgamated and run as one. During the year ended April, Harris and May, Ltd., had paid £23,000 for hiring transport.
When challenged by Mr. A. C. Fabyan Windeatt, for the railways and British Road Services, Mr. Harris denied that his companies cut rates. Mr. E. Gordan, traffic organizer for the Western Counties Brick Co., Ltd., Plymouth, said that Harris and May, Ltd., carried bricks for his company at the same rate as other hauliers.
CHINA TO BUILD 30,000 LORRIES A YEAR
A NEW factory has been built at
Changchun, Manchuria, to produce 30,000 lorries a year to meet China's great demand for vehicles. Ten thousand employees work in the 10 workshops. Quantity production of a 4-tonner with a six-cylindered 90 b.h.p. petrol engine has started. Known as the Liberation, the vehicle is styled after the Russian ZIS-150. It bears a strong resemblance to American International models.
All the factory's plant has been imported from Russia and Czechoslovakia, and several Russian engineers and technicians assisted in building the works. Passenger vehicles will be made at a later stage. A factory to make tractors is being constructed.
