CERTAIN motor Manufacturers,
including the Ford Motor Co., Ltd., Humber, Ltd., Morris Motors, Ltd., and Vauxhall Motors, Ltd., have formed a panel of the senior production and materials-handling engineers of their respective companies to study the standardization of materials-handling equipment as applied to expensive supply items.
The object of this panel is to obtain agreement on the types of equipment most suitable for the companies represented, and for each company to use this equipment in common with the suppliers, although the approach to the suppliers would be made by each individual company.
Five meetings have been held, and the panel's activities will be extended to other fields in which economies in handling can be made.
600 OF 750 DELIVERED
I N a little more than a year after signing a £4m. contract to supply Argentina with 750 buses, Leyland Motors, Ltd., has now shipped over 600 of these vehicles. Four more, consignments of complete buses will leave Britain for Buenos Aires at the end of this month.
The Argentine Ministry of Supply is opening a school where instruction in the maintenance of chassis and directinjection oil engines will be given. Mr. A. J. R. Bruce; B.Sc., Leyland fieldservice engineer, is helping in the organization of this school. He went to Buenos Aires six months ago from the Leyland headquarters factories.
FISH TRADE 5-` THROTTLED" MALLAIG 'fish trade was being throttled by the restriction upon the use of vehicles weighing over, 2f tons unladen on a 26-mile stretch of road between Kinlocheil and Arisaig, said Sheriff R. Reid, at Fort William, last week, when he admonished a fish merchant and a driver for running a lorry weighing 2 tons 19 cwt. unladen on the highway concerned.
The defending solicitor said that consignments sent by rail were unfit for eating by the time they reached Eyemouth. The Sheriff urged that the limi tation be modified to allow vehicles weighing at least 10 tons to use the road.
CARAVAN TOWING BY HIRECAR OWNER A HIRE-CAR owner, Mr. G. H. r-k Garrett, College Farm, Great Stukeley, has been granted a B licence for towing caravans to and from various sites within a 25-mile radius, The Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority imposed a condition that the vehicle be used solely for towing caravans owned by Service personnel.
The applicant said that members of the R.A.F. and the U.S. Air Force in the vicinity required the service, as caravan sites had been set up at various aerodromes where permanent accommodation for families was not available. When men were posted, they usually wanted to take their caravans with them.
