TRERE are certain branches of municipal-trans
port work in which vehicles equipped with tipping bodies are either indispensable or highly 'desirable.. Perhaps the most common type of wagon is that for the collection, of refuse, and it is as well to mention this, becanSe it is a type which pre aents difficulties peculiar to itself, in that the bodies must usually be tipped to a high angle if the contents are to be shot on to the dumps or into barges without necessitating excessive labour on the part of the personnel.
There are many makes of tipping gear, both power and hand-operated. The former are mainly of the hydraulic pattern, of which, perhaps, the most noteworthy examples are the Bromilow and Edwards and the Wood Hydraulic Hoist. The type made by Bromilow and Edwards, Ltd.. Bark Street, Bolton, may be built with single or twin rams underneath the body, or a telescopic ram immediately behind the cab, the latter tieing particularly useful fox-lowloading vehicles, as the ground clearance does not have to be taken into account.
The Wood gear, which is made by the Hydraulic Hoist Co., Ltd., of Lord Street, Southport, is a type which is also .exceedingly populpr, as it can be fitted to almost any chassis without obtruding into the loading space. It is extremiely simple, having only three moving parts, comprising a ram and two Pump gears, not counting, of course, the rollers on the ram crosspiece. The. ram rollers act directly on curved cams attached to the underside of the body, and a simple, single valve gives complete control.
As regards,screw -gears, some very efficient types are Made by the Spenborough Eilgineering Co., Valley Works,
Heckmandwike, Yorks. In Come of these gears also power drive ean he utilized,whilst others are designed for operation by hand. • The three-way D54
gear obviates unnecessary manceuvring of a vehicle when it is operating in confined areas.
lit is impossible to deal here in full with the many other gears manufactured, but other makers producing models of the screw pattern, either single or telescopic, are :—The Eagle Engineering Co., Ltd., Eagle Works, Warwick ; R. A. Dyson and Co., Ltd.,
Grafton Street, Liverpool, S.; J. H. Jennings and Sons, Ltd., Crewe Road, Sandbach; Tuke and Bell, Ltd., Carlton Engineering Works, Lichfield, Staffs., Walker Bros. (Wigan), Ltd., Wigan ; F.
