Can’t be sure of the numbers but Kendricks towards the end of their days ran loads of artics, I remember them having a lot of Fodens with the huge headlights (S83 was it?). I remember a brand new unit & trailer tipping over in Bilston steelworks on its first trip, first load of coke, a few hours old!
Hello Trev
Bit of a surprise that, as I said I never saw any artics. I worked for Coopers in Swindon for a while, and the 8 leggers were always in there back loading, or they were tipping swarf at coopers Sharpness yard. After I left Coopers I was always seeing Kendricks on the road, but never artics. People used to tell me I needed my eyes tested, I think they may have been right!!! 
cheers
John.
