Another shot... W C French were civil engineers. It looks as though the company had extensive workshops, as did many at the time, that could and did produce anything required...I am gobsmacked at the photos in the collection of Fifties workshops and the level of expertise, with full engine-outs/rebuilds to chassis repairs and new bodywork. I would imagine that cannibalisation was rife at the time, and any wrecked truck was recycled to keep others going.

This is a limestone spreader...note the truck in the background, which pumped the powder into the CMP which then did the spreading.
