THE FOLLOWING ITEMS HAVE ALL BEEN FORWARDED TO US OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS BY A DUTCH GENTLEMAN, A CONTRACTOR SINCE 1972, CAT FANATIC, ALSO IN LOVE WITH DRAGLINES, AND NEVER WORKED FOR BLACKWOOD HODGE.
Herr Ad Gevers discovered our website, and as he had quite a bit of paperwork and photos of Euc & Terex items, he sent them all for publishing. Most of them he came by in an unusual way, when he asked a friend who worked for the Cat Dealer in Holland if he could look through their archive material, he came across the specimens that are listed below, one assumes from the competition section.
We are publishing the 2 brochures tonight, the additional photos will follow in a few days.
The first is in the form of an early Blackwood Hodge/Euclid brochure, from the design, possibly from the 1950`s, and a later BH/Terex item, which from the units shown, comes probably from around 1976/77 is our guess, and both in French, so we assume they are from B.H.Belgium.
First the older BH/Euclid brochure……
….highlighting one of their biggest customers…..
..…listing the best points of the three Euc dozers…..
..no comment on the rest, only Grade 4 O level French to go on, & that was forty six years ago….
….and finally !
Now the later item, slightly different style…..
The rest is a well laid out assembly of all that was sold from BHB at that time, all the way from Terex to Ashurst bitumen tankers to NCK/Ransome cranes & draglines…….some diversity.
