Albion 30-cwts were common from 1927 as the type-40, normal control chassis, but 118 n/cont and 119 f/cont types were introduced in (or before) 1935. I cannot so far definitely identify an earlier forward control 30-cwt chassis in the 1931-1934 range. I suspect this is a type 119 chassis, and the introduction date was possibly before 1934. -- Last edit: 2016-10-07 21:57:47
