The days of the fairground
operating with steam traction engines have long since gone – the
next vehicles to enter the tobers were the internal combustion
engine, lorries with both petrol and diesel engines being used. As
time went on these old vehicles were brought up to date, and today
include modern high-powered lorries, some in articulated form, to
cope with the ever-increasing demands of sophisticated
trailer-mounted loads and greater distances to travel.
With a wealth of rare and
previously unpublished images, Carl Johnson offers a fascinating
record of fairground lorries. |
