Don’t think Tolls have gained much if anything by hooking those trailers in that configuration instead of a normal triple.

Maybe they had an A shortage. 
IIRC in the late 60’s very early 70’s when twist locks were just appearing on trailers there was a firm that advertised in the commercial press that marketed what were called Klemp Klamps for securing ISO containers to trailers without locks. For want of a better description they were similar to “G” clamps but as I never actually came into contact with these clamps maybe someone on TN can confirm their existence all those years ago but I’m sure they were a better method of securing an ISO box than rope and a lot easier than messing with chains and dwangs

I vaguely remember them, of their existence, but never saw one. Better yes but I would like to know if anyone found them safe.

Hi Dennis, When I was with Robert Baillie & Co Ltd in the early 1970s, we carried 30ft ISO containers, but as far as I
am aware, we didnt have twistlocks. Each container was fitted with steel bars, reaching down from the top, and when
the container was put on the trailer, I attached 4 double screw brackets to the steel bars, and to a special link fitted
to the side rave of the trailer.
Cheers, Ray.

3rd photo: I imagine the tyres are painted. But why? Any ideas?

As used to happen years ago at local carnivals etc the likes of local merchants and potato merchants made their motors available for the processions as floats so I reckon that motor in the shot had recently been used for that purpose and the tyres had been whitewashed for the parade.
Probably been posted before but a worthwhile watch on a cold winters day. Construction video of the first section of the M74 in the early 60’s.
Cracking stuff Dan, Keep them rolling, And all the very best to you and yours for 2023, Larry.
