AT an exhibition of municipal vehicles to be held all next week in the Shaw and Kilburn showrooms, Berkeley Square, London, W.1, Bedfords are showing three special-bodied vehicles for the first time.
They are a 7-ton tipper with a heated body for roadstone, a 7-cu.-yd. refuse collector on a 2-ton chassis and a road sweeper. The tipping body, built by Harry Dando, Chipping Sodbury, is' of double-skin construction, insulated with glass-fibre. Oil-filled heating coils are located in the floor, the heat being provided by a generator driven off the propeller shaft. A heat-exchange unit is embodied in the oil system.
The temperatureheated roadstone can be maintained at 260°. F. while running. When stationary, the temperature can be held by mains current.
The refuse collector has an Eagle body with a loading height of 4 ft. 21 in. The road sweeper is built by Lacre Lorries and can be supplied with full-width brush.
Other exhibits will include ambulance bodies by Herbert Lomas, an Eagle Compressmore 12-20-cu.-yd. refuse body on a 6-ton forward-control chassis with sixman cab, a 3-ton short-wheelbase chassis and cab, and a Martin Walter Utilabrake.
