Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Chan-old Ltd., St. Peter's Road, Huntingdon.

STAINLESS-STEEL construction is used for an integral box-van semi-trailer shown by this company which is known as the Charrold-Ohio and is plated for 32 tons g.c.w., the running gear being a Rubery Owen 20,000lb tandem axle. Stainlesssteel pressed panels are riveted with large pan-head semi-tubular stainless-steel rivets to high-tensile top-hat section interior posts at 19fin. centres. The fully stressed onepiece roof has cambered bows and the cantrail design is such that the rivets are outside the stress area. The length of the body is 39ft 6in. and it has a width of 8ft 2iin.

Exhibited at the 1966 Show, a Charrold Tippermatic aluminium body is based on a Seddon 13-Four-354 chassis having a wheelbase of 14ft 8in. Designed for the handling of granular materials and having a length of 17ft 6in., the body has an hydraulically operated longitudinal control door in the floor and a pneumatically actuated vibrator panel in the discharge trough which prevents bridging and controls the flow of material into the rotary valve.
