Wiggy I check very occasionally, but not for a few weeks. Many thanks indeed for your message.
Various trucks are featured in the black and white US military section.The Hyster Handy Andy is shown very briefly at about 7.11 minutes.
Much of the video appears to be an interesting Lancing Bagnall history. The Lister section reminded me of my apprenticeship days, late 50s, at Morris Commercial Cars Ltd in Birmingham where they were numerous.
The Handy Andy was remarkable in that it had no hoist cylinder though that's not very clear in the clip. The transmission was interesting too. Quote from spec. sheet.......
"FULL REVERSING CLUTCH permits FORWARD AND REVERSE speeds in any one of the FOUR selected traveling speeds WITHOUT SHIFTING GEARS, giving much faster operation and greater maneuverability. Highly innovative for 75 years ago.''
I recall the tv programme and I`m pleased that my memory was not playing tricks !!
