12v dc motor with "sideplates"
This motor is maximised for speed.
Similar to Meccano E15R & E20R motors this motor runs at a similar speed but is more powerul. A modern powerful 12v dc motor is "sandwiched" between two sideplates. With on-off/revesing switch which can be remotely operated with an adaptor (supplied). The drive from the motor is transmitted through 90 deg via a pinion and contrate giving a 1:1 ratio. In this configuration the final drive speed is maximised. The model builder can choose to use this speed or incorporate further reductions. This final drive output is then at right angles out of both side plates. This shaft can be substituted with a longer one. Side plates 127mm x 63mm (10x5 holes), width 43mm.

Bush Wheel 6 holes
Demountable Body Tipper Lorry
Booklet of instructions for a model, based on the Renault Midliner with an Edbro demountable body, powered by a Meccano Powerdrive motor protected by an adjustable friction clutch, with a two-speed and reverse gearbox driving an all-pinion differential.
The steering is correctly geared and operated with string, while both axles have leaf spring suspension.
The hydraulic tipping and sliding mechanism used to tip or unload the body are driven from the motor using cord and screwed rod. The internal gearbox attached to the motor is set at a ratio of 6:1 and operates well on only a 7.2v battery pack.
The detachable body has a hinged tailboard that will either drop down for ground level loading or swing upwards for tipping the load. To tip the body, the cord operated twin rams are used and to demount the body, it is moved rearwards first by a screwed rod.
16 pages including colour photographs and parts list, plus a separately-stapled 12-page booklet of diagrams.
