Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

CAPABLE of carrying a 6-ton payload, a new dumper introduced by the Chaseside Engineering Co., Ltd., and known as the D5, is powered by a Ford four-cylindered oil engine developing 61.5 b.h.p. at 2,250 r.p.rn. A constantmesh gearbox and separate transfer box, in combination with a two-speed axle with a vacuum ratio change, give 10 forward speeds and 10 similar ratios in reverse.

To make full use of this performance in each direction two-way, steering and controls are fitted, and full lighting is provided at the front and rear. Power steering is fitted and brakes with vacuum assistance operate on all wheels.

A square wheelbase and low centre of gravity, make the D5 notably stable, which is necessary when the hopper is raised to its full tipping angle of 70°. The hopper floats back to the carrying position as the dumper moves off.

The cab provides excellent. visibility.
