A few days ago the Associated Equipment Co., Ltd., Walthanastow, London, E.17, received a cablegram from their Australian branch relating to the successful completion of a recotd trip undertaken by a pneumatic-tyred 2-ton A.E.C. vehicle in Australia. The expedition, which was conducted by Mr. W. Dunkerley, of the Melbourne Metropolitan Ice Co., who are large users of A.E.C. vehicles, left Melbourne for Adelaide and proceeded thence to Port Darwin, returning to Melbourne via Queensland and New South Wales. The total distance covered by the vehicle was about 6,200 miles. The complete journeywas executed in a period of 84 days. The performance is extremely creditable, for the route taken was through much difficult country.
