Time for my Horlicks and biscuit. johnfromstaffs wrote Latil page. http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p324313728 . The model with the guard in front is called Traulier, produced (or maybe just sold or converted) from 1932 under licence by our old friends Shelvoke and Drewry. The wheels appear to match this chap. http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p324313728/h34cd2032#h34cd2032 I use a new form of bottled Horlicks, obtainable only from Islay. Sunbar wrote The Latil Traulier appears to have changed from an open cab to a closed cab between 1933-1934 according to adverts in the Commercial Motor Archive. The Latil Traulier Improved Mk.I and New Mark.II introduction in June 1937 for detailed description. The earlier Traulier appears to be known only as Mk.I. After looking at the video, the example seen would probably be the shorter wheelbase version - the Mk.I. johnfromstaffs wrote Looking at the picture, the Latil appears to be smart, clean and dent-free, suggesting that it was fairly new at the time of filming. Sunbar wrote Latil Traulier Tractor introduced at Aberdeen docks from 1934... "After lengthy research, it was decided, in 1934, to transfer the existing mechanical Vehicles to other duties, and to introduce two Latil Traulier tractors and four Crane 14-ton eight-wheeled trailers and three Crane 10-ton eight-wheeled trailers. The tractors and trailers are equipped with Westinghouse brakes, which operate on all wheels..." Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" Aberdeen Docks Latil Traulier Mk.I with trailer. 'Best House Coal' appears on the side as in the movie. In the film. it's used to pull a trailer full of ice which is being loaded by conveyor belt into a trawler
Sunbar ◊ 2016-07-12 17:41	No reference to Shelvoke and Drewry building Latil tractors in the Commercial Motor, however Grace's Guide indicates that in 1932 they produced the Latil tractor unit under licence until 1939. The Commercial Motor however clearly states that Latil Industrial Vehicles Ltd. 11 Albert Embankment London SE11 manufactured the 1932 Latil BT2 5-7 ton tractor and the 1933 Latil KTL 4x4 with four wheel steering, and the 'Traulier' at its London works at least until 1937.

Sunbar ◊ 2016-07-12 18:31	It appears only the KTL timber tractor was built by Shelvoke and Drewry, edit probably not the Traulier. Shelvoke and Drewry built between 150 and 175 of the KLT Timber Tractor under license in the UK from Latil of France. From November 1932 until production was transferred to the London based concessionaires in 1937, S & D produced between 150 and 175 of the French Latil KTL tractors. http://www.shelvoke-drewry.co.uk/Preserved.html http://www.shelvoke-drewry.co.uk/History.html http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Shelvoke_and_Drewry -- Last edit: 2016-07-12 18:48:43
