SmartHughes Bros and Hillhead were under the same company , that lorry was an early one , still on 40by8s . The one that went to Hillhead had 1000 by 20s and the manual 12 speed box . The little vent on top of the cab had a mirror for loading , also useful for checking for police cars sneaking up behind .
That has finally answered a puzzle that I wondered about 60 years ago when I saw them as lad. Thank you.
