Side view of a Ranks Foden, circa 1954, before sign-writing, showing the Tollemache pot system for bulk powders in more detail. Note the massive compressor in front of the first pot. The designer of the system had served as a senior engineering officer in the Royal Navy.1
Lovely Photo thanks for posting ,what would the colour scheme have been in the fifties? I have worked for Rank Hovis at Trafford park for 19 yrs and i was wondering if the colour was the middle green and beige we had in the 90s . Its all a bit boreing now the majority of the bulk tankers and unit’s are plain white,Its a pity but it’s done as a cost cutting exercise.
Regards JohnIt would have been the same colour scheme as this. These were still the most common bulk tankers in the fleet when I joined RHM in

Thanx for the reply I have only seen photo’s of this colour scheme but i remember in the 90’s that we used the same colour beige and middle green . for me that was one of the better colour scheme’s that we have had .Anything beats what we presently have,although i dont know if you’ve seen the new carbon fibre tanks we have just bought,they are that hideous Hovis Yellow colour …And i thought plain white was bad
Regards
John
