Summary: Demonstration of a lorry fitted with a large gasbag for running on town gas.
Description: An LMS and LNER parcels truck arrives (under petrol power) at the parcels office at St Albans City Station, where the driver connects a gas hose from a meter on the wall to fill the large gas bag on the truck's roof. While the bag is filling he loads the truck with parcels. Once filling is completed, the driver disconnects the hose and notes down the meter reading. The film shows how the engine is switched from petrol to gas power, and the truck sets off on its rounds with full gas bag billowing on the roof.
