A BEDFORD-EAGLE 800-gal, corn fTh gullyand cesspit-emptier will be exhibited by Vauxhall Motors, Ltd., at the Public Health Inspectors' Exhibition, at Scarborough, from September 20-23. The dual-purpose body is mounted on a Bedford long-wheelbase normal-control 5-ton chassis, with a Bedford 300-cu.-in. diesel engine. The welded steel tank has dished ends and is divided into two compartments, one for clean water, the other for sludge. An inter-connecting valve enables both compartments to be used for cesspit emptying. A rotary vacuum exhauster, driven from the gearbox power take-off, raises vacuum or pressure in the tank for• filling and discharging—the change-over from vacuum to pressure being achieved by the use of a three-way valve.
A Bedford-Eagle four-stage tower wagon is to be shown at the conference of the Association of Public Lighting Engineers, at Folkestone, from September 13-16: The vehicle is based on the Bedford long-wheelbase normal-control 3-ton chassis. It has a low frame height which provides easy access to the rear of the tower and the combined workshopbody and cab.
The tower is mounted directly above the rear axle to give optimum stability, is hydraulically powered and controlled from the cab. The ram is fitted with a strangulated return valve to prevent the tower crashing in the event of a hydraulic failure. The platform, 9 ft. by 4 ft., with collapsible guard rails, can be rotated through 360 degrees.
