EQUIPMENT EVALUATION--THE OPERATION OF CLARK VAN CARRIERS

The Clark Van Carrier was studied to determine what design improvements would contribute to lower maintenance cost, greater utility, and reduced accidents through human or design error. This study covered 2 years in 5 English ports. A great portion of the report deals with human error in driving and the causes of accidents. Great attention is given to details.
