.A NEW fleet of Albion Claymore underfloor-engined parcels vans is being delivered to Cusick Transport (Southern), Ltd., Parkstone, Dorset, by Barrett's of Pendleton, Bazaar Street, Pendleton, Manchester. The most noticeable feature is the absence of a door on the off. side of the cab. The driver enters through a jackknife door across the near-side front quarter of the cab, which has a low step. The usual passenger seat on the near side is replaced by a flat shelf for small parcels. The cab roof is sufficiently high to allow the driver to stand upright to sort the parcels. The van body, which is separate from the cab, has a translucent glass-fibre roof. No skirt panels are fitted, to facilitate access to the underfloor engine. [The company's documentation system for parcels was fully described and illustrated in The Commercial Motor on April 25, 1958.]
