Hello All,

Thank you Ryan for posting the link on the eBay thread.

Oh what a nice photograph.... he who hesitates is lost ... swoop.

Let me know if anyone would like a scanned image of the photograph. I am more than happy to send it to you via a PM.

I will put a post up once the photograph arrives safe and sound.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Hello All,

The design of the trailer is pretty advanced and somewhat aerodynamic for its time of manufacture.

Did the dental trailers have a distinct nomenclature that I could look up in the Australian War Memorial Archives search? Would there be any blue prints available and who would have been the manufacturer?

Oh yes and I like the Chevy Short Wheel Base 4WD (C15A ?) in the photograph too. I am mostly interested in MCPs at the moment so I apologise for my ignorance towards CMPs.

Would the dental unit be mostly towed by CMP's or were towed by anything such as an MCP as long as it was strong enough to move it around?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Perhaps a little ambitious on the price?

Looks like they started with a Strickland with the small drive sprockets.
