Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

H. Clarke and Sons (Camera) Ltd, Bitteswell Road, Lutterwm1h, Leics.

Clarke offers two basic demountable body systems; the Mark III for 5-ton-payload bodies up to 20ft in length and the Mk II for 10-ton-payload bodies up to 26ft long. The latter system uses two hydraulically lifted beams at each end of the chassis upon which the body sits. To demount, both beams are raised lifting the body from the chassis, two legs stowed on the chassis are "plugged into" front body sockets and the rear body-mounted telescopic legs are extended to the ground. The beams 'are retracted and the vehicle driven away. The Mkll employs a rear-lifting beam only; to unload a body the rear beam is raised and the rear body legs extended to the ground. the beam is lowered and the vehicle driven forward, the body rolls rearward and locates against a positive stop. The beam is again raised to lift the front of the body and the front legs "plugged in". The beam is lowered and the vehicle driven away to leave the free-standing body. On both versions the body is secured to the chassis by deadlocks which locate at four points on the body chock-rail.
