Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

ALATE arrival as far as news in the Show issues go, is Scottish Aviation Ltd., the maker of the Minatic. This tiny artic now qualifies for the title of the smallest in the Show and consists of a 292-cu.-ft. boxvan

E64 hauled by a B.M.C. Mini pick-up and carrying a payload or II cwt. it is developed to fill the gap in available types for the movement of bulky goods in small quantities, and to provide two vehicles in one—which is possible because of the ability to remove the coupling ball and its mounting brackets from the tractive unit, when this can be -used in its standard form.

The Minamatic semi-trailer is available for use with several prime movers. These are drawn mainly from all the standard pick-ups produced—from the Minis up to the types built for payloads of just under one ton.

General construction details of the trailer arc: a ladder-type underframe, carrying the running gear: coupling, and landing gear. The body frame is of top-hat section light alloy and is fully gusseted at all joints. Panelling is in swaged light alloy sheet, riveted to the frame, with all joints sealed with a mastic compound.

Light alloy panels, supported by top-hatsection stiffeners, form the roof, which has— according to the size or the van—one or two translucent panels to provide working light inside.
