This little machine, along with its bigger brother, were written up in the 19 October 1931 edition of Motor Transport; a photo from that article and a subsequent advert from 9 November showing them both are attached.
The smaller one was said to be able to ford water 2 ft 6 in deep; travel at over 25 mph; and made use of a 3-point mounted 50 bhp six-cylinder water-cooled engine and 5-speed gear box coupled to a driving front axle. The frame is of sheet-metal, and forms a large water-tight box accommodating engine and driver. The lorry floor covers the engine. Steering is effected by the usual method of braking one track.
