DIGGER sales and increased efficiency, LI leading to lower production costs, have enabled the prices of Commer and Karrier vehicles to be reduced, although the costs of materials are rising. As from yesterday, typical reductions in prices are as follows: Commer 12-ton forward-control oil-engined tractor, £46; 7-ton forward-control oil-engined chassis and cab, £40; Superpoise-P6 3-4-ton chassis, £31; 11-ton van, £12; Karrier Gamecock 3-ton oil-engined chassis and cab, £40. Output at the Luton and Dunstable factories is being stepped up in anticipation of a greater volume of orders. The price reductions do not entail any change in specification.

He stipulated that any specific places mentioned in evidence within a 50-mile or so radius must be marked on the maps.
