For a vehicle to have given continual and
satisfactory service from June, 1924, until quite recently,
although engaged in the arduous duty of refuse collection for a
local authority, and in that long period never to have been
taken off the road except for repainting, is certainly a matter
for congratulation to the manufacturer and to those using the
vehicle.
The vehicle to which we refer is a Guy 25
cwt. lorry which has been in the service of Yeadon Urban
District Council throughout the past six years, during which
time only minor replacements of springs, etc., have been
necessary.
In parting with the old vehicle, Mr. G. E.
Taylor, C.R.S.I., who is the sanitary inspector for this
municipality, paid a tribute to the service which it had
rendered, saying that at no time had he cause to worry about the
lorry standing up to its strenuous work. He expressed the
opinion that had the chassis been equipped with pneumatic; tyres
it would have served for a still longer period. |
