To meet the specific conditions of operation in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the Department of Health for Scotland and the Engineering Division of the Ministry of Works have collaborated in the design of a miniature mobile X-ray laboratory.
Hump-backed bridges and bad roads precluded the use of a large unit, which was ruled out also by reason of its 'weight, as vehicles exceeding 4 tons ard not accepted for shipment to the islands.
A Morris-Commercial FVS 125 chassis of 12-ft. '6-in, wheelbase was chosen, and the double-skin body was constructed of aluminium by Weymann's, Ltd., Addlestone,_Surrey.
Despite the limitations of space complete equipment is carried, and although wired-up to take electricity supplies from the mains, in some areas electrical power may not be available. To meet this contingency, a PhilipsSchorch alternator, triounted on a twowheeled trailer, is provided.
The X-ray apparatus has been designed so that it can be broken-down into units should it have to be removed to save weight when the laboratory is being transported by ship. Dismantling or erecting takes up to 20 minutes.
ONE-MAN BUSES IN EAST KENT
THE first one-man operated buses to be used in the area are shortly to be introduced by the East Kent Road Car Co., Ltd. Ten out of 40 singledeckers based on A.E.C. Reliance chassis, which the company have ordered for delivery this summer, will be built for this purpose. Equipment will include ticketand change-giving machines.
