A new vehicle to carry 10-12 workmen over rough, unmade ground, and to supply power for driving drills, winches, generators and fire-fighting equipment, has just been produced by Guy Motors, Ltd., Wolverhampton. It can also be readily adapted to agricultural purposes.
It is self-contained and is based upon the design of the. many similar machines supplied during recent years to the War Department.
• The plant incorporates a compressor, driven from the gearbox by a power take-off and capable of handling the full engine output of 58 b.h,p. It is
a two-stage air-cooled unit working at a pressure of 80-100 lb. per sq. in. Special provision has been made for cooling the engine and a governor automatically closes the throttle when the required pressure is obtained and opens it when the pressure falls below 70 lb. per sq. in.
