nz2 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yes the clarity of the image in posting no. 26 makes further identification difficult. The trucks all appear to have dumb iron sections to the chassis and forward spring mounts, so that eliminates a number of makes. Of interest to note the variation in colour ( shade or hue) of the canvas roof sections on the various trucks. Could this be the result of different batches of canvas from different suppliers?

Runflat Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Close up of the wheel. Keith Compare and contrast - it is neither a Milnes Daimler nor a Thornycroft... :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 The photo in post 28 could be of a Swiss Berna rear wheel. The large hexagonal bearing cap is similar to that shown in a photo of such a truck in Micheal Young's "Book Army Service Corps"(Chapter six photo section.) Rod Dux book, ( The Benzine Lances") refers to Swiss Berna and also to British Berna trucks being in service with the Australian forces. Two Berna are listed as been supplied from Melbourne and being available for shipping to the war as of 1st October 1914. The Berna spokes are curved out towards the rim, a point not overly clear in photograph 28. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Well done! I was wondering who would get there first - #28 is of a British Berna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaindrive Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Out with Milnes Daimler... in with Thornycroft!Here is another photo of a truck, again ascribed to the former make!What do you make of it?[ATTACH=CONFIG]79443[/ATTACH]With regards to the truck picture in post No 20. If you enlarge the photo there is a KRIT visible in the showroom looking through the driving position and also a Fiat visible in the showroom behind the Fetz Spa sign. As for the truck in question, it also appears to have brass wheel grease caps with Fiat in script on them.
