Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

PORTABLE bulk containers are made by N. Tamplin and Co., Ltd., Chichester, Sussex, in a range of five sizes, from 15-ft. 6-in. to 25-ft 6-in. long, in steps of 2 ft. 6 in. Capacities vary from 9+ tons to 15+ tons, and worm or gravity discharge can be incorporated.

An example of one of the largest units has recently been supplied to Radnorshire Co., Ltd., Knighton, kadnorshire. This is used with a Leyland Octopus flat-platform eightwheeler, and is rated to carry 15 tons. For unloading of seeds and fertilizers, worm discharge is employed, this being driven by a small self-contained petrol engine which gives a discharge rate of 25/30 tons per hour.

Price of the container unit, complete with all equipment and including a fitted sheet to cover the open top, was £642.
