IN1 ENDED for the bulk movement of very heavy industrial machinery and electrical equipment, Australia's largest road transporter has completed trials and is now in service.
The transporter was built in Sydney for Brambles Industries, Ltd., by Freighters, Ltd., at a cost of about £50,000. It comprises a low-loader trailer, 112-ft. long by 12-ft. wide, with Mack oil-engined tractors at front and rear. The tractors have radio-telephone installations to enable the drivers to synchronize control. A third operator negotiates the rear 16wheeled dolly assembly round sharp bends.
Power for assisting the steering of the dolly is supplied by an air-cooled oil engine mounted on the trailer structure. This engine also provides air to boost the hydraulic braking system on each of the 32 sets of dual wheels supporting the trailer.
Although the tare weight of the total unit is 60 tons, this is so evenly distriF14 buted that the weight on each individual tyre is less than 15 cwt.
An interesting feature of the trailer is that it is designed on the " Meceano " principle and can be dismantled from around any load after the equipment has been taken to its position on the site. Apart from obviating the need for heavy off-loading tackle, this principle enables the trailer to be assembled in varying ways to suit different load requirements.

A GREEMENT has been reached with 1-1, the Government of the Federation of Malaya for the Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd., to establish a tyre factory on a site already acquired at Petating Jaya, Malaya. It is expected to be complete in about 18 months' time.
There will be a substantial Malayan financial interest in this new company. The proposed ordinary share capital will be 12m. Straits dollars (£1,400,000),
, Dunlop already have a substantial stake in Malaya in the form of rubber plantations and a successful Dunlopillo factory.
