antarmike Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) And has the German trailer got a brick under the wheel, without a tyre to keep the Genny??? level for running? Mind you the rear tyre looks flat also. Edited February 4, 2009 by antarmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 No takers for this one? Well its a 1905 Wolesley Rough Terrain Lorry. Unladen weight was 6 Tons, it could carry four ton load, and tow a four ton trailer. Like the Thornycroft, it ran on Paraffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I don't recall seeing pictures of the Wolseley before. Where's it from? Vanderveen lists Wolseley tractors as being 1904 and 1907 - the '04 version being "the first internal-combustion oil-engined tractor", so interesting that this is '05. Les - I think the German car is a Mercedes. I'm on the case with the other, but I'll let others have a go first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antarmike Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 It comes from a booklet Celebrating one of Leylands/ British Leylands birthdays, (80'th??) I'll get back with more details, I am at work on lunchbreak and don't have it with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you the rear tyre looks flat also. Is the trailer associated with the equipment behind it. As a pure guess is that a radar antennae behind?

Runflat Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks Mike - another item to find! Les - As no one else has got it, the pedestrian-controlled trolley is known variously as a "Trolley, Motorised, 4-wheeled, Airborne" and "Dropping Zone Collecting Barrow"; popularly known as the Morris 'Jarrow'; designed by Alec Issigonis (of Mini fame). Only ten were made. Designed to be dropped from the bomb racks of aircraft, the wheels etc fitted inside the parachute container which then converted into the barrow. Seems a lot smashed to pieces when they hit the ground! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
