These papers also get thrown into newspaper vans which screech round the streets chucking bundles out at all the newsagents. |

Going by the last thumb I suggest maybe a four cylinder Chevrolet from the mid to late 1920s. |

Seems from background posters to be Chelsea versus Portsmouth so from plate dates on eg the McLaughlin-Buick in this sequence 22 Apr 1936 Chelsea v Portsmouth 1-0 League Division One or 03 Oct 1936 Chelsea v Portsmouth 1-1 League Division One seem likely, which might match brief glimpses of the game - both teams with dark shirts, white shorts, dark socks with colour bands. If the Leyland coach is Southdown CUF 153, the April game is excluded, so becomes the October match. No FA Cup clashes between these teams since 1929. |

The vehicle concerned, a Dodge Brothers machine, supplied by Tomlinson (Marylebone), Ltd. 77 High Street, London, W1 has proved so satisfactory that a further outfit has been put into service. It is identical with the former model in that it has a Dodge Brothers LER chassis with a six-cylindered engine, but twin tyres are used on the rear wheels in place of the single equipment formerly specified. 1931 link Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" 1929 link http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/16th-july-1929/60/a-mobile-printing-press ![[Image: starmobileprinting.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/starmobileprinting.jpg) Looks possibly like twin rear wheels to me so 1931 Dodge LER Tomlinson newspaper printing van? The Dodge LER chassis appears to be a 20-seater bus chassis from 1929 http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/12th-november-1929/160/dodge-brothers -- Last edit: 2016-04-28 19:50:39 |
