WASTE NOSTALGIA BY TIMOTHY BYRNE
Innovation was the byword during the glorious sixties
Norman Cartwright (Below), co-founder of P.H. Cartwright and Sons and Cartaways, and founding member of the National Association of Waste Disposal (Contractors) NAWDC - the body set up to represent private sector waste disposal companies in the late 1960s.
An LAD cabbed Dodge two axle tipper, operated by P.H. Cartwright and Sons Ltd haulage contractors of Amblecote-Stourbridge. The vehicle is shown being loaded with aggregate material by a crane, complete with clamshell bucket. The load would be delivered to a Cartwright customer for use in the construction sector. The photograph (Above) is from the 1960s.
The fi rst F.X. Meiller skip loader (Left) to be imported into the UK by Co-Founders Norman and Philip Cartwright, who formed 'Cartaways' - their waste disposal business. The equipment was mounted onto an LAD cabbed Dodge two axle chassis. The vehicle is shown lifting a 20 cubic yard open top skip, which would be used to collect a wide variety of industrial, construction and demolition wastes. A tarpaulin sheet is shown covering the skip, so the load would be contained whilst being transported to a controlled landfi ll site (photo from the 1960s).
SteerSafe call for more measures to be taken
ROAD Safety Campaign group SteerSafe have welcomed the recent proposals to broaden the forthcoming Direct Vision Standard to include cameras and sensors, but claims they don’t go far enough.
The campaign urges London Mayor Sadiq Khan to acknowledge the vital need for electronic safety systems to reduce “driver blind spots”.
18 SHM March, 2018
Chris Hanson-Abbott OBE (Left), of SteerSafe, said: “We agree with the Mayor’s determination to outlaw death and serious injury on London’s roads.
"We are delighted that Transport for London and the Mayor’s office have formally recognised the importance of electronic safety devices."
