ORRY parks with full security .1 arrangements, plus drivers' accom°dation, shower baths and catering eilities, were visualized as a possibility Mni J. T. Brown when he addressed a oad Haulage Association meeting in lanchester (The Commercial Motor, last eek).
At present the haulage industry needed put its own house in order and, he said, aerators should send out vehicles which mild be fully immobilized so that they â– uld be left unattended. Where overght parking was likely to be required anagements should endeavour to make lvance arrangements of their own for e use of enclosed accommodation.
Consideration had been given to the ting of immobilizers by the chassis anufacturers, but it was desirable that ere should be individual patterns rather an the device should be in any way a Indard fitting.
