• Under an agreement with the Air-0Matic Power Steering Corporation, USA, York Trailer Co Ltd is to market power steering kits in the UK. The kits can be fitted on new or used vehicles at any of York's nine truck equipment branches.
Made for any medium or heavy-duty vehicles with conventional axles, the Air-0Matic system utilizes the existing air supply and needs no adjustment either during or after installation. It can also be refitted to another vehicle at trade-in time. The system is unaffected by adverse weather conditions —including freezing—and the driver can maintain full control even in the event of air pressure drop.
Hilton's London depot
• The new warehouse and transport workshop being built by Wates Construction Ltd for Hilton Transport Services Ltd on a 34-acre site in Lombard Wall, Charlton, London SE7, is now three weeks ahead of schedule—final completion of the £500,000 contract, which also includes a new lorry park, was originally planned for March 1971.
No lorries will enter the warehouse; all transport will be done by fork-lift truck.
