A DSL ET6?? Tempting, but modesty forbids. |

Commercial Motor Archive July 1951. .gif ";)") "Based on an extended Fordson 2-ton chassis, a mobile showroom has been put into service by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board for use in the isolated parts of its area where electricity is being supplied for the first time. At the remote farms it can be connected to the overhead lines by cable. Because of the narrow roads over which it will be required to travel, the size of the van had to be restricted. This difficulty was overcome by providing telescopic sides which expand to form bays in which equipment can be displayed. Internal wiring enables the equipment, which will normally include an electric cooker, washing machine, vacuum cleaners, fires, irons, kettles and lights, to be shown in operation. There are a 50-gallon cold-water tank and a 25-gallon hot-water tank heated by electricity. A 20-gallon tank is provided for waste water. This will enable washing and ironing demonstrations to be carried out without recourse to main water supplies. A demonstrator will accompany the van when it is on tour. There is accommodation for 12 people in the van itself, hut there is provision for the erection of an awning for larger audiences."
