Duple Motor Bodies (Midland) Ltd., Derby Road, Loughborough, Leics.

THE most interesting exhibit of Duple (Midland) is a 54-seat o-m-o single-decker on a Ford R.226 chassis for Wolverhampton Corporation Transport. Of metal-framed construction, the bus has air-operated single-fold doors ahead of the front axle and similar exit doors in front of the rear axle. Seating is arranged in pairs ahead of the exit with threeand two-seat arrangement to the rear of the exit. Both entrance and exit are of the three-step type. Fluorescent lights are fitted, together with three under-seat heaters and all handrails and stanchions are of stainless steel.

Alongside the Wolverhampton Ford is a 46-seat body on a Bedford VAM 3 lefthand-drive chassis, one of a fleet of buses for the Iranian Oil Exploration and Producing Co. Although a fully double-lined interior is employed, the vehicle is fitted with slatted wooden seats.
