"DEANB"Great pics of Newtown and Harveys motors Kempston.Heres an old clipping of a T.H.Brown Mack.
A curious caption. It describes it as a ‘high torque engine’ but doesn’t tell you where the torque is or whether it is useful - perhaps it was supposed to imply high torque at low revs, but I’m not sure the Mack engine was; unless of course it had a ■■■■■■■ in it (which you could on a Mack F700)
Also it describes 7mpg as ‘low’ consumption, which I’m not sure was the case in the late '70s when 8.5mpg would have been considered low.
Or am I nit-picking?
CF’s training me up to take his place
I think between 7 & 8 mpg was normal to be honest looking at roadtest results,and i dont expect he was hanging around…
I would imagine the Mack had its own engine which was called the Maxidyne and the gear boxes were called Maxitorque.
I would guess he would be fully freighted as well so sounds about right to me.
Yep. Looking back at the figures, I reckon you’re both right.
