ONE of the many vehicles built to operate under the 30 m.p.h speed limit which will be seen at Earls Court is to be exhibited by Arlington on
Stand 25. A 13-ft. wheelbase Albion Chieftain, it will be fitted with a new lightweight cab and double-dropsided body constructed in Huntalloy and Plastaloy materials. Framed in extruded sections, the light-alloy fullfronted cab will have a domed roof.
A revolutionary lorry, designed by the development department of the British Aluminium Co., Ltd., will be shown by Mann Egerton (Stand 121). Of all-aluminium construction, it has a payload rating of 81 tons and yet weighs less than 3 tons unladen.
Light-alloy is used for the platform
body on the new Leyland Comet 90 forward-control model on Bonallack's stand (86). It also has the Bonallack pressed-steel cab on which Leyland have standardized. Other alloy bodywork on this stand will be seen in a triple-drop-sided lorry based on the Maudslay Mercury chassis, and a brewers' drop-sided lorry with covered top on an Albion FT 37 CL chassis. The cab is also of alloy.
First seen at the Scottish Motor Show last year, the Duramin light-alloy cab on an A.E.C. Mercury chassis (Stand 31) has since been modified on economic grounds." The new design. which employs shaped panels, should prove distinctive.
A payload of 15 tons can be carried on the Homalloy 24-ft. 6-in.-long platform body on a Leyland Octopus chassis which Holm$s (Preston). ltd.. are to show, together 'with a variety oi other types, on Stand 132.

Exhibiting at a Commercial Motor Show for the first time are British Light
Steel Pressings, Ltd. (Stand 27A), aSsociates of the Rootes Group. They are to Show an allsteel cab mounted on a Karrier Bantam forwardcontrol tractor. In this design,. the underframe and body are welded together. The roof, which is fullyinsulated, is a
one piece moulding. Front and rear visibility is claimed to be excellent.
The increasing demand for light, but durable, bodywork by tipper operators is reflected in the large number of tipping models which are to be shown on stands of bodybuilders noted for their light-alloy products.
Four of the five exhibits on the stand (123) of Pilot Works will have aluminium bodies. One of these, based on art A.E.C. Mammoth Major sixwheeler, is designed for particularly arduous work.
The fixed-side 10-cu.-yd. end-tipping body employs 1-in.-thick duralumin alloy plate for the floor, and is of bolted construction. Pilot Model U6 twin-ram tipping gear. powered by a Pilot highspeed combined take-off and pump, gives a tipping angle of 55°.
A tipping trailer can be operated from either the front or rear of this vehicle. Special non-spill breakaway couplings are used, and valves are fitted to control the oil supply to the tipping rams on both the chassis and the trailer.
c48 New Edge tipping gears are, to make their debut on Stand 131. This latest range of products of Autoiifts and Engineering Co., Ltd., will be represented by two versions, one on an Albion Clydesdale model and the other on an Atkinson chassis.
The Model L14F tWin front-ram end-tipping gear is hydraulically operated. The rams, which are mounted directly on the chassis frame, are tripleextending. A separate oil tank is provided, and the control and cut-out valve are mounted in the cab. Weight of the equipment is 4 cwt. and the load capacity is 14 tons. The single ram of the Model L8F gear on the Atkinson is combined with the oil tank and is mounted immediately behind the cab. Weighing 21 cwt., it has a capacity of 8 tons.
Detachable extensions can increase to 12 cu yd. the capacity of the 8-cu.-yd. tipping body on the Duramin stand (31). Built throughout in duralumin, it will be shown on a Dodge 144 R6 chassis. Edbro HN2 heavy-duty tipping gear is employed.
One of the most interesting tippers will be shown by Edwards Bros. on Stand 47. Built to the order of the National Coal Board, the all-steel electrically welded body of this vehicle, based on an A.E.C. Mammoth Major, has a capacity of 10 cu. yd.
The specification called for a vehicle capable of carrying a 10-ton payload on the road and 15 tons of mine dirt off the road. It has been necessary to employ a scow end 30° from the horizontal, and this, in turn, required tipping gear which would -give a sufficient angle to overcome it. The gear, which tip 70°, is Edbro-B. and E. twin-ram tr extending equipment, the last stag the extension being double acting fast body return.
The fixed-sided body which wil seen on a Dodge 105 P6, is divided five separate compartments to enabh load to be discharged with ease at separate points. Austin, Commer Karrier tippers will also be seen on stand.
A new gear which is likely commend itself to overseas openin particular is to be shown for the time by Telehoist on Stand 75.. F to a Thornycroft Big Ben 6 x 4 eh with a double-steel-floor dur body, it is lever-operated can give a tipping angle of Eagle, perhaps better kn as trailer manufacturers, ar show some interesting b work on Stand 98.
