At Work: Kenworth Trucks of the 1950s
For Kenworth, the 1950s were some of its most exciting years. A financial windfall started out the decade, with a special truck built for ARAMCO that became a standard at oil sites around the world. In the mid 1950s Kenworth began building trucks in Canada and developed a new design with the cab beside the engine, upping the cargo capacity by 1,000 pounds and offering greatly improved visibility for the driver. In 1956 the company became a subsidiary of the Pacific Car and Foundry Company and under new ownership the 900 model, with a lighter, shorter chassis, was introduced. And, in 1957 the first tilt cab over engine was introduced with easier access to the engine and transmission for servicing. See the huge variety of Kenworths moving goods to Americans at the start of boom times.
Heavy Truck
Heavy Truck puts the historical perspective into the use of heavyweight trucks on the roads of Great Britain and Europe. Essentially concerned with what vehicles were used where and when, and why, the story is told of how freight went quickly from the railway and canal networks onto the roads. How steam power came and went, metal road wheels to solid rubber to pneumatic; the birth of the articulated truck; the Juggernaut; the container system and TIR; even how sleeper cabs came into being.
All the great names of the European industry are here: Volvo, Foden, Scania, ERF, Mercedes-Benz, Leyland, Daf, Man, Bedford. But only the heavy truck is of concern for this book. If your favourite make is not here, then look inside.
Designed for the enthusiast not the acadmic, Heavy Truck is an attempt not to glorify the vehicle out of hand but to show it for what it really is-a hard working, useful but often endearing 'workhorse of the world'. A must for the growing bands of truck enthusiasts throughout the land. The first competent explanation of the industry.
