Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

3ITE lorries are being cleaned regularly at the West Moss pen-cast coalmine at Cowdenbeath in Fife.

Murphy Brothers Ltd, which s working the site upon the ■ lational Coal Board's behalf, las taken advantage of the 2-Rane wheel-washing sysem to meet environmental )bligations.

Lofries leaving the site )reak a photoelectric beam )efore driving on to the wash =,rid and this sets 62 water jets nto action to give the wheels and underside a 20-second bath.

The used dirty water is recycled in a 100,000 gal lagoon on the site, under the system which is much faster and more cost effective than hand washing with hoses.

Murphy is so satisfied with the system that it wants to include it in future estimates for contracts which include wheel washing requirements.
