Obviously an "after-market" conversion, a beute Bedford O-series.

Re: Wood gas vehicles: firewood in the fuel tank
Hello all.
A VOMAG 4,5 LHG, isn't it?

Hi Ilya,
excellent ID. The exact designation is type "4,5 LHG 448". Here a good pic of this truck out of the book "VOMAG - Eine Legende in Bildern" by Christian Suhr and Ralf Weinreich.

Bert

thanks for a good illustrative picture. Note the absence of a part of a cabin near the gasifier column (in Norway). The identification was easier because I've already read about something similar in "Za rulem" magazine, #19 of 1940 (an online version here, it seems that the front grille is different), but I was not sure about 444 or 448 modification. What was the difference? Length of the body?

Re: Wood gas vehicles: firewood in the fuel tank
Hy Ilya , privet,
thank You very much for Your reply. The difference between type 448 and 444 was the wheel base:
the designation 444 or 448 means: both with a four cylinder motor, and then the different wheel base: 44 = 4,40m, 48 = 4,80m.
Here a pic of the shorter type 4,5 LHG 444 dump truck (source of the pic: "VOMAG - Eine Legende in Bildern" by Christian Suhr and Ralf Weinreich).

Bert

This is the same Gatsonides that designed the Gatsometer.

Although it is often stated that gas-producers were only to be used in rear echelon situations, this convoy has all the appearance of a forward area movement.

A very curious, home-made, sort of contraption.
