Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

A Well-equipped Morris-Commercial Vehicle Recently Built for the Education Committee of a County Council WHAT is believed to be the first completely equipped travelling. dental surgery in this country has recently been built specially by Morris Commercial Cars, Ltd., Soho, Birmingham, for the education committee of Isle of Ely County Council.

The vehicle has been designed to accommodate a dental surgeon, a nurse and a useful range of dental appliances, B10 and it will make regular journeys to the 90 schools, at which 11,000 children attend, under that authority.

By the use of such a useful vehicle the time that would be lost if the children had to travel to a stationary clinic will be turned to account for educational purposes. This is an important point, especially as the area administered by the authority extends for 60 miles in one direction and 21 miles in the other.

As 'will be seen from the illustration of the interior, the equipment closely resembles that of the ordinary surgery. The body is divided into two compartments, the smaller being intended for use as a waiting room and including in its equipment a wash-basin and seat.

Amongst the equipment of the main compartment may be mentioned a dentist's chair, a wash-basin, a writing table, an instrument case and hot-water radiator.

White enamel is used for the interior finish of the body, whilst the outside is painted blue and carries the council's coat of arms. Ample natural light is assured for the interior, for not only is the roof of the clerestory pattern, but there are four large windows on each side.

The chassis which has been chosen as the basis of this vehicle is a MorrisCommercial long-wheelbase TX type, which ('allows a platform space of 78. sq. 'ft.
