Richard Peskett Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Back to the Government disposals of 1919 this advertisement that appeared in 'Surplus' for June 1919 predates Slough involvement when it was still a free for all regarding the sale of motor transport. The magazine 'Surplus' was an official weekly government publication which ran into the early 1920s. What was on offer and the quantities are truly amazing from kitchen utensils to floating docks , railway locomotives to aerodromes and complete factories with township included .Some incorrect spelling in this one, Garrick should read Garrett and Rushton being Ruston ,all smaller steam tractors. (The Rushton ic engine tractor by AEC did not appear until 1928 ) . Richard Peskett. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you google about you will see that the Titanic steering gear used the even more stupid triple-helix design. (with a double helix the two sides can balance the load by floating the pinion laterally. Not so with a triple. And you can't cut the gears with a sunderland planer either.

Great War truck Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 In 1929 FWD Slough offered this three wheeler which looks to be predominantly built from parts of leftover Model B's. I wonder how many they sold? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Peskett Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Extract from Commercial; motor 19.3.1929. Yes, probably built up out of surplus parts but doubt if many were sold !. Richard Peskett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many they sold? FWD? Front wheel drive? and it’s begging for some armour and a maxim or a 2 pound anti-tank gun. I’d buy one just for shopping locally.
