THE reorganization of Harrier Motors Successors, Ltd., Harrier Works, Huddersfield, is steadily taking shape, although not yet completed. In the meantime, however, inquiries we have made indicate the present programme, which may, of course, be subject to modification.
The Cob-Major 4-ton tractor continues to be marketed as before. Ceri ain detail improvements have been incorporated, but the performance is such that no material alterations to the specification have been found necessary.
The Cob-Six' 6-ton tractor is now available with either a six-cylinderecl or a four-cylindered engine, and whilst it has been found necessary to increase the price of the Cob-Six to 1325, the four-cylinder model is being marketed at the attractive price of £299. This
has a side-valve engine rated at 14 h.p., and developing 44 b.h.p. It is the same type of power unit as is used in the Commer 20-25-cwt. chassis, which has already gained an enviable reputation for reliability, economy and efficiency. The Comraer clutch and gearbox will be embodied. This modi
fication will permit a lower first speed than that afforded by the original Harrier gearbox, so that the vehicle will be able to operate more successfully in the most difficult country.
So satisfactory has the Colt threewheeled 2-tonner proved in general service that it is being continued with the same specification and priced at 2260.
The Bantam is being made available with the four-cylindered 14 h.p. engine described above, and incorporates several other detail improvements. A spare wheel and tyre, speedometer and various minor extras are being included in the specification, and the price will, here, again, be £260.
The Harrier range of refuse-collecting vehicles and trolleybuses will continue to be marketed without any alteration. In addition, there will be a 5-ton oilengined vehicle, and a 10-ton tractor.
