BRITISH jet engines have caused such

revolutionary changes in air travel ****** | that the progress made in developing the same principle for other uses generally escapes attention.

For turning in narrow staten, with or withoaut ford, the driver of the Lansing Barnall POES 2 stand-on pallet truck has the advantage of an unobstructed overhead view of the road ahead. Articulated construction gives smooth riding over uneven surfaces. Manufacturers are Lansing Bagnall Ltd, Kingwolore Boad, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.
