What's this?

anorak:
The cabs of all the lorries shown on this thread are different. It seems that some of them used Atkinson windscreens, while others had ERF KV ones. Are we sure they are all Homalloy?

PS the Leyland with the LAD grille and lamps looks superb- like a 1930s or '40s streamlined special.

Windscreens used in coach-built and other proprietary cabs are another can of worms best left unopened. My uncle needed a windscreen for a Tillotson cabbed AEC Mercury and he got what looked to be an identical windscreen from a Park Royal cabbed Mercury. Were they the same? No, one of them was one inch smaller in every dimension than the other. All of the proprietary cab builders used “off the shelf” items wherever possible, windscreens being one such component.
