• Two new gearboxes will be introduced by Turner Manufacturing Co. Ltd., at the Commercial Motor Show. One—the T6-500 —is a 6-speed sychromesh transmission developed from the existing T5-400 but redesigned—and slightly larger—to take a nominal torque input of 5001b. ft.
The second box is a completely new design and will be shown at Earls Court as a model. It is called the 17-600 and becomes the largest transmission in the Turner range with seven forward ratios, all with synchromesh engagements and a torque capacity of 6001b. ft. A feature of the 17-600 is the use of twin main shafts with the input drive split between them; this allows a high torque capacity in compact overall dimensions.
