Aveling/Clayton/Babcock 6 TON nominal weight cast plate

[No.41]

For Sale: A cast iron nominal weight plate from one of W.W. Buncombe's fleet of rollers, probably from a Clayton or Babcock roller. These plates were screwed onto the front forks - it is said that they were swapped to meet the weight requirement of the local surveyor. Dimensions 7 1/4" x 2 1/8", drilled for screws at 6" centres. This is an original item and I hope it can find a good home on one of the surviving 6 ton rollers. Send me a PM containing your email address if interested. Sandy Ross
