FOUR Leyland Royal Tiger Worldmaster chassis are to be put to stringent trials for a number of years by Luxury Landliners. Ltd., who will place them on a I5-hour 428-mile run from Wellington to Auckland, New Zealand.
One of the hazards of this journey is the presence of fine pumice dust. The dust-proofing arrangements of Worldmaster chassis will be tested. The air required for all major units is drawn through an 11-ft.-long tube from the front of the vehicle. Air for the engine and brakes is filtered by a large oil-balls cleaner. Breathers for the rear axle. gearbox and engine are connected to this supply.
The company pioneered the Wellington-Auckland journey in 1948 with a Leyland Tiger which covered 130,000 miles in the first 10 months of regular service.
