Hi all!!!
I have a revolutionary find today that dates back to 1916. It's a Thornycroft truck!
The description of the picture says: «It Will be noted that there is another compartment between this and the driver's seat, which serves as a storage place for forage and sleeping quarters foi two men.»
So this is one of the first British trucks with a sleeper cab, but the search continues.

New discovery Commer (1926). I never would have paid attention to this truck for the presence of a sleeper. But the commentary on the picture says I'm wrong: "In the course of the demonstration made for our benefit the tractor-trailer was placed directly against the kerb, the front wheels were locked full over the moment they were free from contact with the kerb and the machine was then turned in a circle 26 ft. in diameter, on either lock. At one point the tractor is at an angle of about 80 degrees to the trailer, and if the cab had not been made large enough for a man to sleep in an even neuter angle could have been obtained."

Dimitro,My friend, oliver1950 gave you the email address for your new messages but you should be able to easily find them here, just look at Dima in Ukraine.

We all support you and wish you and your Country well.

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
