Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

by Hands Trailers Ltd. at the Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court in September. The new unit incorporates a caststeel main plate capable of supporting imposed loads of up to 17 tons. This is an increase of eight tons over the capacity of the previous fabricated model.

With a total weight of 288Ib and an increased surface area, the new coupling is claimed to give greater stability under cornering conditions and to assist in keeping the unladen weight of tractive units to the minimum possible.
