OF imposing appearance and affording ample power under the most difficult conditions, four Studebakers, in 3-ton, 4-ton, and 5-ton sizes, are displayed here. A 8-ton and a 4-ton chassis serve as the basis of hydraulic tipping lorries with steel-lined bodies.
The smaller machine has a six-cylindered engine of 82.5 mm. bore and 111 mm. stroke, giving a piston-swept volume of 3.569 litres and developing 85 b.h.p. at 3,200 r.p.m. The castiron pistons are electroplated. Static and dynamic balancing is a feature of the heavy crankshaft, which has four main bearings, steel-backed, and babbit-lined.
Aluminium pistons are employed in the Hercules six-cylindered 4.21-litre .engine mounted in the 4-tanner. In this case, the crankshaft has seven main bearings and the engine gives off 79 b.h.p. at 2,800 r.p.m. Anthony No. 17 tipping gear raises the dropsided body mounted on the 3-tonner, whilst a Woods hydraulic hoist is mounted on the 4-ton chassis.
Puma is the type name of the 5-tonner, which appears in forwardcontrol chassis form and as a drop sided lorry.
The 3-ton Leopard costs £464 as shown ; the 4-tanner £594 10s. ; the 5-ton forward-control chassis with American all-steel cab £667 10c. ; and the 5-ton drop-sided lorry £740.— Studebaker Distributors, Ltd., 385 Euston Road, London, N.W.1.
