Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

15 dump trucks were held last week at the British Portland Cement Manufacturers, Ltd., Wouldham Works near Grays, Essex. They were organized by Thos. W. Ward, Ltd., who are sole concessionaires in the U.K. for the makers, F. L. Douglas (Equipment), Ltd.

Both models have as their main feature automatic transmission through torque convertors and R.V.48 four-speed gearboxes by Self-Changing Gears, Ltd. Alternative engines are available; the Automaster 15 used for the demonstrations had a Rolls-Royce C6NFL diesel engine whilst the turbocharged version of this engine—the C6T—was fitted in the 22. Both machines were shown working in difficult conditions carrying their maximum load—I5 tons for the " 15" and 22 tons for the " 22."
