THE first batch of Daimler Roadliners to be
fitted with Metalastik toggle-link rubber suspension are now entering service with the Potteries Motor Traction Co. Ltd. All other Roadliners in service have air suspension.
The rubber suspension has been developed in close co-operation with Potteries and Midland Red, the latter company having employed rubber suspension on its own vehicles for some years now. The outstanding feature of the suspension is its simplicity.
The new Potteries vehicles are fitted with 50seat Plaxton bodies built to BET specification and incorporating grilles at the offside rear to feed air to the rear-mounted radiator which features an electrically-driven thermostatically controlled fan.
