Some Other Outstanding Features

General Description

Main Frame: The frame is constructed with deep section rolled steel channels, corssbraced and stayed to form a rigd unit. All mail working parts are carried on the main frame.

Gear Box: The Gearbox is of heavy duty fabricated from mild steel plates. All gears up to the final drive pinions are of heat treated alloy steel with machine teeth. Shafts are of alloy or carbon steel and mounted in ball or roller bearings.

Differential Gear: Bevel type, enclosed in gearbox with lock, operated from drivers seat.

Final Drive: Each rear roll is driven by spur gearing mounted on different shaft which ensures balanced traction with equal wear on each roll. The gears, fully protected, are lubricated by a controlled piped oil feed.

Lubrication: Oil splash system with collecting trays and feed channels which maintain constant stream of oil over gears.

Clutch: Double acting, reinforced bonded asbestos lined single-plate, quick-release type, controlled by single hand lever, forward and backward movement of which gives a corresponding direction of travel to the roller. The spring load applied to the clutch through a ball bearins throw-over mechanism igve the drive a perfectly smooth take-up.

Steering Fork: Spanning the front roll longitudinally, the fork carries the fore-carriage by steel trunnion pins, thereby all allowing the front roll to accommodate itself to the road surface without disturbing the stability of the machine.

Fore Carriage: Of steel construction with turnnion pins carried in generous size bearings.

Steering: By car type hand wheel, oeprating the steering fork through worm and wheel reducing gear to a pinion which engages with a segment bolted with the bridge thereby effecting further reduction.

Rolls: Of heavy section mild steel plates electrically welded, hubs are fitted with renewable bushes. The rolls can be ballasted by sand or water.

Axles: Of carbon steel, exceptionally large in diameter and ground on all bearings faces.

Brakes: Fully self-wrapping, external contracting band type acting on the machined outer surfaces of the driving Fig. Independent control by hand wheel or foot pedal, the former is for aprking.

Scrapers: Fixed bar-type scrapers to act in either direction fitted for each front and rear roll. Adjustable and cover the full width of all rolls.

Controls: Steering Wheel in centre and other controls grouped within convenient reach from driver's seat. The clutch lever on the left hadn side and speed control levers on the right hand side of the driver.

Awning: Sheet steel lined with timber and fitted with stout rot-proof canvas side and end curtains.

Side Plates & Bonnets: The roller is completely covered by side and end plates and bonnets made from sheet steel pressings to give a pleasing appearance.

Side Doors: Two louvered Side Doors at the front ensure easy access to engine and better air circulation.

Pressure Balancer: A travelling cast iron mass is provided between the flanges of the frame channels to vary pressure on both the front and hind rolls.

Outfit: Kit of tools housed in a built-in tool box.

Optional Accessories Water Tanks & Sprinklers
Tank of sheet steel. Wateris delivered by gravity feed to the Sprinklers, whcih can be operated independently. All pipes are reversible for easy cleaning.

Electric Light: Two front lights, one rear light for night travel.
