Would all Horace Kendricks Foden tippers have been single drive ? that one in Paul Gees shot certainly looks like a single drive ! Cheers Bewick.

Most seem to have been Dennis, with high ratio diff and hub reduction on the drive axle like the tractor units. British Salt used a similar set up, I guess they did little off road work?

Pete.

And there would be a payload advantage also as every cwt counted I should think ! Cheers Dennis.

Yes Dennis, those worm and wheel diffs did weigh heavy. Those reduction hubs were not light though, but still less than another drive axle.
