This photo looks as though it was taken in the front yard of Chiswick Works, and it shows Leyland Beaver prime mover 1010L. This was habitually used with a winch-fitted Dyson low-loader trailer, but this photo shows that the tractor also had its own winch. Also visible are a smallish spotlight for night-time work, the fifth-wheel coupling, and also the ground-anchor at the rear, shown in the deployed position. As the name suggests, this would 'anchor' the vehicle in place during winching operations. |
