ABRITISH bodybuilding company who export nearly all their production is Comjoint, Ltd., Bishop's Stortford. The concern offer a form of construction for which only a small number of components need be stocked for repairs, which work does not require skilled labour. There is thus a great appeal to many overseas operators.
Comjoint framework is of square light-alloy tubing, the internal hollow of which is circular. When a joint is made, a patented die-east coupling is used. This consists of a cube of metal from three or' more faces of which protrude round pegs. These pegs fit into the 'tubes.. Tubes and couplings arc made of a special alloy.
The couplings are divided so that when a peg is inserted, in a tube, a taper pin may be driven through the joint to tighten the two sections. of the peg
inside the tube. Although the company usually export bodies completed at their works, it is not difficult for overseas buyers to build up sub-assemblies. Sometimes a completed body is shipped with sub-assemblies packed inside.
A user can knock down a body for further shipment or conversion to other purposes. The Company make many shipping containers, some oE which have been converted into transportable dwellings.
Channel paterial is used for chassis cross-bearers. With .i, nsul a ted or refrigerated bodies, impregnated hardwood is bolted under the channelling to break heat transference. Rocksil, a rock wool made by Wm. Kenyon and Sons, Ltd., 50 Bloomsbury Street, London, W.C.1. is used for insulation. Doors arc sealed with felt and rubber.
At Bishop's °Stortford, 35 workers, of whom six are skilled, 20 semi-skilled and the remainder unskilled, are employed. Some are women. The value of the work done per month averages £9,000. Floor space is saved by pre-fabricating cabs and body sides and roofs, and then assembling them. Bodies have been made for chassis already overseas. These were built to drawings and shipped in knocked-down condition.
Currently many bodies for meat transport are being built. Yugoslavia has ordered 71 such vehicles based upon Thames 413 chassis.
