Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

IN the March 25 issue (page 24) you showed an interesting photo'. graph of a 30-ton g.t.w. articulated combination operated by James Brown and Sons (Belfast) Ltd., and claimed that this was the first of the 30-ton articulated vehicles to operate in Nothern Ireland.

It is often difficult to establish factual information in these cases, but may I point out that the first three 30-ton-g.t.w. trailers were landed in Larne at the end of 1964. They were Hands 34 ft.-long semi-trailers, operating for Richardsons Fertilizers Ltd., behind a Leyland Handyman, on a round-the-clock service between Belfast and Londonderry.
