THE SMALL accumulator electric truck is becoming increasingly popular for the rapid transit of small but heavy goods in dockyards, railway stations, and even in works; but it is entirely new to find one of these machines employed for the carrying of passengers. Such, however, will be the case at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, -where a number of standard Railodok electric trucks, specially adapted for passenger carrying, will be utilized on the 15 miles of roads and paths within the precincts of the Exhibition.
Each car will carry 12 persons and, in addi•tion to the ordinary services, will be available for hire by private parties, the terms for which can be had on application to Railodok Electric Passenger Service, whose office is at the Exhibition.
The garage for these cars will, it is stated, be the 'largest and moatup-todate eleetric garake in Britain, and will be fitted with the latest type of batterycharging plant.
These trucks are manufactured by G. D. Peters and Co., Ltd., of Caxton House, Westminster, London, S.W. 1, at their works, which are situated at Slough, Bucks.
