WE HAD NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE AT ALL OF THIS PUBLICATION, AND AT THE MOMENT, IN ALL HONESTY, WE CANNOT REMEMBER WHO (IF NOT EDDIE HOPES) SUPPLIED IT, AND WHAT A PITY IF IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE IN EXISTENCE.
EUC NEWS, VOLUME 2, NUMBER 1, 1955, is exactly what it says on the tin, covering all aspects of Euclid around the world as of that time, produced in the U.S.A. we assume, and although the re-scanning and resizing has reduced the edge on clarity a little, it is still well worth a place in our archive, so here we go with the title page first…….
….pages 2/3, 6/7, 8/9, 10/11 & 12/13 are all doubles, but to keep a decent size of print for you to read, the pages have to follow eachother, not be published side by side…….we aint that good yet !!
So off with pages 2 & 3….
…..page 4…..the "new TC12", with a plug for B.H……
…..page 5…..truck Model "UD", not ever seen in UK…..
…….pages 6 & 7……..see the Euclid BV Loader, conveyor type system as used by Laings on the M1 building in 1959……..
….page 8 & 9…..helping create the St Lawrence Seaway….
….pages 10 & 11….Newhouse getting larger, note Mr Sunley`s wife & daughters presence, such was the closeness of supplier & dealer……..
..pages 12 & 13..Euc`s with 5th wheels..note the mention of Guy F Atkinson, who was the main contractor on the Mangla Dam in the 1960`s, on which so many JBH Northampton engineers worked…..
