Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Newfarm Transport, the transport division of Yorkshire Egg Producers Ltd, of Whitehall Road, Drighlington, Bradford, has built a 400 cu ft aluminium body with roller shutters for mounting on a Ford Transit 175, 118-in. wheelbase petrolengined chassis /cab having a taxation weight of under 30cwt unladen. The body is designed to have a life equivalent to that of two to three chassis and to provide for pallet loading from both sides.

The vehicle is equipped with a brake servo unit, a petrol tank of increased capacity and Aeon auxiliary suspension units. Known as the Turnaround, the body was evolved for use by Yorkshire Egg Producers for deliveries of small consignments of eggs to shopkeepers within a reasonable radius of their depots.

Details of the structure include a fin. plywood floor mounted on 4in. by 2in. cross-bearers and a clear floor space of 70 sq ft. The roof is of glass fibre, and the roller shutters have a width of 811. Overall dimensions of the body comprise a length of 10ft, a width of 711 and a height of 611. The price of the body, unpainted, is £405.
