T"2-ton Garner lorry, produced by Henry Garner, Ltd., of Moseley Motor 'Ccorks, Birmingham, has hitherto, been equipped with wood wheels shod with 36-in. by 4-in. solid tyres at the front and 36in. by 3m, dual solids at the rear.
An all-steel wheel has now been adopted, made by Smiths, of a particularly clean design, and under test the wheels have proved to be exceedingly strong and to be well balanced.
We are able to illustrate the new type of wheel and, as will be seen from our illustrations, the mileometer, -which forms part. of the standard equipment of the Garner chassis, is included in the hub of the front wheel. The strength and firmness of the all-steel wheel has been found to improve the action of the brake mechanism to an unexpected degree and, go,K1 as the brakes of the Garner irry have always been, they will, with this new wheel, he found to be considerably more efficient, It may
also be mentioned that the springs of the vehicle have been reinforced so that a full 2-ton load can be carried on this British-made chassis.
