Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

TIESPITE the addition of exhaust-heated under

floor tubes to prevent freezing of the load of potatoes, the aluminium body of the six-wheeler illustrated here weighs only 1,800 lb. and affords a weight saving of 1,000 lb. compared with a comparable steel body.

Having a length of 19 ft. 6 in. and a capacity of 32,500 lb., the body is built of K aiser aluminium

by the Williamson Body and Equipment Company, Salk Lake City, Utah, USA. Unloading by a central conveyor belt can be completed in 15 mm.

Potatoes are delivered distances up to 150 miles to processing plants and are not accepted if they are frozen.
