Designed for application to semi-trailer bulk vehicles, the Holmes blower is known as the type RBST size 68 and is of the positive-displacement type. It is direct coupled through a flexible coupling to a 50 hp four-pole electric motor and the assembly is mounted on a combination bed-plate.
Electric current is supplied by means of a wanderer cable which can be plugged into any convenient supply. Apart from being more compact than a typical trailer-mounted dieseldriven unit, the unit has the added advantage of being comparatively silent in operation. Of special advantage in some applications, the pump can be operated when the trailer is uncoupled from the tractive unit. Made by: W. C. Holmes and Co Ltd, Turnbridge, Huddersfield, HD1 6R8.
