Andwhile renting suitable trucks and drivers from civilian haulage companies for the purposes of an exercise was justabout feasible, it certainly would not meet the Army’s needs in the event of war. Therefore, in September 1911 a subsidyscheme was introduced covering trucks in the 3-ton (A-type) and 30cwt (B-Type) classes. In brief, the terms of thescheme allowed that a vehicle’s owner would receive an initial payment of between £8 and £15 followed by annualpayments of £15 on the understanding that the War Department could in the event of war or other crisis compulsorilypurchase the vehicle with very little notice. Manufacturers were issued with a comprehensive list of specifications to beadhered to if their trucks were to be accepted within the subsidy scheme.Here we have two rare types from the era photographed at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, in June 2014. On theright of the photo is a Hallford EIDI-80 manufactured in 1917 by J & E Hall Ltd of Dartford. Its chain drive was a featurenot much liked as it was noisy and required a high level of maintenance. On the left is a 1918 Dennis A-Type. The fernleaf painted on the side denotes a vehicle of the New Zealand Division.Photograph by John BlackmanOPE N I NGSHOT4CLASSIC MILITARY VEHICLEMarch 2015HALLFORD EIDI-80CLASSIC MILITARY VEHICLEMarch 20155 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
