by the British Trailer Co., Ltd., at the Commercial Motor Show. It is now 25 years since Legge's Haulage, Ltd., Liverpool, began using B.T.C. semitrailers with Ford tractors, so one of their outfits will be exhibited on the B.T.C. stand.
. It is the most modern type of B.T.C. W.1107 "Four-in-line," finished in silver and coupled to a Thames Trader in the owners' colours.
Legge's were among the pioneers in the carriage of structural steel, and were among the first concerns to adopt articulation as a means for dealing with awkward forms and long lengths: After consultations with the B.T.C., Mr. H. T. Legge replaced his only vehicle, an old steam-wagon, with the first Dragon semi-trailer seen in Liverpool. Using Ford tractors' he built up his fleet of B.T.C. seini-trailers, adding fresh units year by year. Legge's vehicles now include 10and 15-ton pole trailers and a low-loading semi-trailer with a detachable axle, complete with winch, to clispilee of the large single-piece equipment required in civil engineering.
Over the past 25 years the company have won a high 'reputation among the Merseyside steel construction units for their ability to deal with awkward or unusual loads.. Their vehicles travel to all parts of the country, and one of the jobs they have been entrusted with was the conveyance at instant notice of the vital operating gear for the Liverpool and Glasgow Salvage Association.
