Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A SECOND load of Linotype printing 1"-x machinery left London last week en route for Kabul, Afghanistan, carried in a York Freightmaster semi-trailer and hauled by a Guy Warrior tractive unit belonging to Asian Transport Ltd. (formerly Scandsmith Road Transport).

As reported in The Commercial Motor (August 21), the combination completed its first 10,000-mile round trip at the beginning of August, travelling via the T.F.S. Tilbury/Rotterdam ferry, and through nine countries, crossing the Bosphorus and negotiating the Khyber Pass.

The third and final load, which will complete the £84,000 Afghanistan Government order, is expected to leave early in the new year, when the company hopes to open a regular trunk run through to this part of Asia.
