THE usual wide range of specialized vehicles will again be on display fix two days during the 60th annual conference of the Institute of Public Cleansing at Morecambe next week. Ranging from pedestrian-controlled electric 'street-orderly trucks, through refuse vehicles of all capacities to the largest exhibit, a 30-cu-yd. bulk refuse body mounted on a Leyland Octopus chassis, the exhibits cover all aspects of the work of local authorities.
Though innovations to be seen at the display will in general be limited to refinements incorporated in equipment previously shown, there will be a few vehicles which have not previously been exhibited. A system of refuse collection which is said to be entirely new to this country will be shown by the Yorkshire Engineering and Welding Co. No details are being released before the exhibition day and delegates will have the fir,st opportunity to inspect this new equipment. At the other end of the scale a miniature side-loading refuse vehicle will be shown for the first time by the Ford Motor Co., Ltd.
The vehicle display will take place on Wednesday, with 25 manufacturers demonstrating their products. Twelve suppliers of earth-moving equipment will have the opportunity to show their appliances on the following day.
n32 THIRTEEN manufacturers will be
1. showing refuse-collection vehicles. Dennis Bros., Ltd., will have five oilengined vehicles. A special .Dennis tractor unit will be coupled to a Tasker semi-trailer with refuse bodywork and compression equipment manufactured by Dennis. This design, originated by the city engineer of Liverpool, allows forward loading under cover and a 30-cu.-yd. body.
A Dennis Paxit Major 11 with a crew cab will be shown, along with the smaller Paxit II fitted with bin-lifting gear to enable it to deal with refuse storage containers. Other exhibits will be a Fax short-wheelbase chassis with a Shefflex 1g-cu.-yd. low-loading forward-and-rearward tipping body and a 12-cu.-yd. sideloader with a six-seat crew cab, also on a Pax chassis.
Adapted from their Speedyload design, a bin-lifting version of this body, known as the Easyload. will be among the exhibits of the Eagle Engineering Co.. Ltd. Mounted on an Austin 7-ton forward-control oil-engined chassis, it permits dustless and rapid loading of storage containers.
Compressmore bodies of 16-24-cu.-yd. and 12-20-cu.-yd. capacities will be shown by Eagle on Bedford 6-ton and Thames
Trader 7-ton chassis respectively. Crew cabs are fitted on both vehicles and the Thames-based model incorporates a rotating salvage compartment, which will be on view for the first time.
A Bedford 4-ton normal-control chassis with a 10-cu.-yd. side-loading body will be another Eaglt exhibit. It will be accompanied by a two-wheeled saIvage"trailer with an all-steel body.
The smallest internal-combustion-engined refuse collector on show will be :seen on the Ford stand. It has. an Eagle "3-cu.-yd. side-loading body mounted on a Thames 15-cwt. chassis and cab.

A Leyland Cornet is also to be displayed with an extended factory-built cab to seat six men and a Pendulum 27-cu.-yd. body. The use of an underfloor ram is said to prolong the life of the unit and ease maintenance, as the moving parts are always ;fear of abrasive refuse.
Glover; Webb and Liversidge, Ltd., will demonstrate their Dual-Tip refuse body in three sizes-12, 18 and 25 cu. yd.—all mounted on Karrier chassis, The two larger vehicles have TS3 oil engines and the 25-cu.-yd. vehicle has a lifting attachment for emptying large storage bins.
