NOVEL DOORS ON NEW FLOATS

REINFORCED-PLASTICS bodies to a new design are fitted to two Morrison-Electricar dairy vehicles announced by Austin Crompton Parkinson Electric Vehicles Ltd. The two models are built on the standard Morrison D1 and F chassis, the dimensions and body design of the two being identical.
Designated Model D/Fg and F/Fg, both have 36-cell batteries and their payload capacities are 21/26 cwt. and 30/32 cwt. respectively. The load area of the body provides for 28 crates per tier. A scale 'node] of the new body design was shown at last year's Dairy Show and features include a walk-through single mould plastics cab, a plastics canopy over the load deck which slopes to the rear for drainage and a metal deck which tips up to give access to the motor and batteries.
The cab doors open and close with a novel action which has been patented. They operate on tracks along the top, being guided at the bottom, and open by sliding forward and into the cab. When fully open the doors fit closely against the windscreen and are held securely in this position by retaining catches. The door windows are sufficiently large to allow the vehicle to be driven with one or both doors fully open.
