SOME months ago Albion Motors, Ltd., Scotstoun, Glasgow, introduced a 4i-tonner in the 30 m.p.h. class. Now it announces an improved version of its 6-74-tonner and a considerably modified big six-wheeler.
The first of these three is noteworthy
for its low chassis weight, which has been brought down to its present moderate figure without any reduction of the sturdiness for which Albion products are renowned. There is a margin of no less than 14 cwt. for bodywork, before, the 2i• tons is exceeded. The model is available in three wheelbase sizes,on the longest. of which a body with a length of 16 ft. can he mounted. We described this machine and reported its performance in our issue dated September 27 last. During our test we obtained a •con
sumption-rate • return of 12.5 m.p.g. over an exacting route.
Visitors to the Commercial Motor Show of two years ago will remember that on that occasion an entirely new Albion maximum-load four-wheeler was introduced; the latest 6-7i-tonner is a modified version of this. It now incorporates Dewandre triple-servo brakes, a new type of rear axle, and a higher and narrower radiator, which gives the vehicle a better appearance.
As on the 4.-tonner, it is possible to carry a body of ample weight for heavy
duty without—in this case—the 4-ton limit being exceeded.
Suitable for 13-ton loads, the sixwheeler, in its 1936 form, embodies many improvements upon earlier designs. There are four vacuum cylinders provided to give a high degree of :braking efficiency, and an unusual feature is that the hand brake as well as the foot brake is servo-assisted. The machine is available with either a trailing third axle or with double drive. With a body of moderate weight the unladen weight is less than 6 tons. c43
