• The growing popularity of 30 tons gvw eight-wheeled tankers is reported by the staff of Ryland Vehicle Group Ltd, Ryland Street, Birmingham, whose tanker show opened on Tuesday and closes tomorrow (Saturday) with a driver's day. While 16 tons gvw tankers are supplied to operators in greater numbers than vehicles of smaller and larger capacity, sales of 32-ton articulated outfits are increasing, notably to those who anticipate up-rating in the not too distant future; and operators delivering domestic and agricultural oils to restricted premises often opt for smaller, short-wheelbase vehicles. Ease of operating the control gear is reported to be of special importance to operators of smaller vehicles and several improvements in control equipment are in evidence at the show.
