HANDSOME Shire horses are kept by Whitbread and Co., Ltd:, Chiswell Street, London, E.C.1, to appear in different parts of the country where sales-promotion drives are being held. The company have purchased a Seddon-Carrimore articulated horsebox to carry them.
The coupling is of the permanent type. Body framework is of timber, with outer panelling of light alloy and an inner skin of plywood. The overall length of the outfit is 33 ft. and taxation weight is 7f tons.
c32 The front and rear sections of the semi-trailer have seats for grooms. Two men are carried for each animal. There is a push-switch in the rear compartment connected to a bell in the driver's cab. A groom can easily enter any of the stalls by opening a small partition dividing the stalls.
The animals are carried in the centre of the semi-trailer, which is arranged as four stalls. There are two spring-loaded ramps on the off side. The horses travelling in the front stalls face forward and those in the aft stalls to the rear, in each case to face the attendants—a compromise solution of a controversial subject.
Entertainment for the occupants is provided by a Motorola radio with extension speakers in the grooms' compartments as well as in the cab. The vehicle is painted in the Whitbread chocolate-brown livery with gilded Whitbread hind heads attached to the body sides. There is a display panel on the near side into which may be fitted photographs of the horses being carried.
