I am wondering if anybody "over there" recognises the 'van in
this photo.

The information we have "down here" is that it was called "Reo"
and was invented by a man called Mr. Brindell.
It was being made in Sydney Australia in 1934 and we are told
it was also being produced in England at that time

So far as I have been able to ascertain it has nothing to do
with "Reo" cars or trucks.
You can see from the photo that it was a fairly ingenious
system... as the sides were pulled down the roof was raised
by means of the pulleys and steel ropes.

Hopping somebody knows all about this little old 'van Wink
