LNER road motor vehicles. Lawson Little. Fairly general article which gives detailed information about fleet classification and numbering system. For instance: a J in the first position indicated a Jensen and P implied a mobile crane. The second letter indicated specific models: for instance HE implied a Scammell specific type of mechanical horse. The first number gave the code for load capacity and the second number the area code. Illus.: FYY 722 a Fordson 5 cwt van; FYY 756 a Fordson 7V 24hp chassis; A Ford two ton flat truck; AYH 946 a Scammel mechanical horse; Bedford 4 ton truck with removable body.
