COR 1936, the policy of the InterI national Harvester Co. of Great Britain, Ltd., 259, City Road, London, E.C.1, will be to continue the C range of commercial vehicles. The C-1 15cwt. chassis and the C-20 2-toianer will remain unchanged, whilst the C-W type will, in the case of the longwheelbase pattern. have Lockheed hydraulic brakes as standard equipment and an oil filter fitted to the engine.
A new model is to be introduced to.
wards the end of November. This will be known as the C-35 and will be avail-able with a wheelbase of 14 ft. 7 ins. With a load capacity of 4-4 tons, the vehicle will have the same pattern of engine as is fitted in the C-40 model, in which a six-cylindered overheadvalve power unit of 222.7 cubic ins.. capacity, developing 78 b.h.p. at 3,400 r.p.m., is employed. The new model will have a four-speed gearbox, whereas the C-40 has a five-speed gearbox.
Another feature of the C-35 will be the use of hydraulic brakes, otherwise it will be of orthodox International design.
In future, the C-40 chassis will be rated as a 5-tanner, instead of a 4tonner, and will have hydraulic, instead of mechanically operated, brakes. Salient points in the specification of the C-40 include a downdraught carburetter, all-metal rollerbearing anti-friction universal joints and spiral-bevel gear-type final drive with fully floating axle.
