Hi ODK members,

Would you like to see what 1,300 Villiers 7Fs looks like?
In this extraordinary photograph supplied by ODK member Greg Stokes we see
engines loaded at Ballarat for shipment to a Sydney mower manufacturers.

Given that the factory had a rail siding (see photographs above), I am surprised that
these engines were being sent by road. Maybe it was cheaper to deliver factory
door-to-door this way . . .

Note how these engines are not on pallets. They would have been individually hand-loaded.
[The photograph comes from Villiers Magazine Autumn 1959]

All very roadworthy.
