I’ve just discovered the Berliet GPC has a chain transmission to its driven axle; certainly needed regular lubrication on the roadside. And I’m just wondering if the thin pipe which can be seen under the chassis just behind the cab could be its exhaust pipe…
I’d noticed the chain drive, it was 1929 though, and the British were still using them particularly on heavy haulage for some time after that…the pipe hanging down looks too small to be an exhaust, perhaps its a drain pipe, either off the engine or perhaps the tank itself ? it’s an insulated tank so would need venting I guess.
