NiTEMBERS of the Road Haulage Assam ciation would probably be asked soon to support ,a publicity campaign' in favour of independent road haulage, Mr. R. G. Crowther, national chairman of the Association, said at the Northern Area's annual dinner at Newcastle upon Tyne last Friday. He thus confirmed the exclusive report published in The Commercial Motor on April 4.
The Association had, he said, taken steps to prevent the renationalization of the industry by a future Socialist Government. Perhaps it was a pity that freeenterprise road haulage had not in the past been widely advertised, whereas British Road Services had spent a large sum on publicizing their activities.
The public should be made to realize the part played by free-enterprise hauliers in maintaining the general level of efficiency and keeping down costs by competition with B.R.S. Since denationalization, B.R.S. had improved their services and reduced their rates.
Mr. Crowther thought the balance of the roan transport industry was now correct. He believed that, the leaders of the British Transport Commission would support him in saying there ought to be no more political interference.
Mr. Crowther said his term of office was coming to a close, and the function was the last.area fixture he would attend as national chairman.
More than 300 members and friends attended the dinner, over which Mr. R. Clifford, Northern Area chairman, presided.
SERVICE SCHOOL FOR GERMAN VEHICLES
A N Exacta electronic engine-testing • r-k apparatus was among equipment demonstrated to Borgward agents in this country by a manufactMer's service team last week. It is claimed that this machine will give a visual indication of the condition of the battery, fuel pump, coil, sparking plugs, and cylinder compression when applied to a petrol engine, without dismantling the unit.
A short course of instruction took place at the new showrooms of Metcalfe and Munday, Ltd., Old Brompton Road, London, S.W.5, Borgward distributors for the United Kingdom. The equipment for the service school was brought to this country in a Borgward 30-cwt. mobile workshop, a new model of the chassis which was shown with van bodywork at the Frankfurt Show last year. This chassis will be available here with van, pick-up; 18-seat bus or mobile-workshop bodywork. It is powered either by an oil engine of 1,758 c.c., with an output of 42 b.h.p., or a 1,493 c.c. petrol unit giving 60 b.b.p. The petrol engine is a derated version of the unit used in the successful Borgward car.
The complete service school is proceeding to the U.S.A. and will eventually return to Germany having travelled round the world.
