The WC51 and WC52 had 6 (six) volt electrical systems. ... An interesting site. Thanks.

The 55 limit was set on the velocity governor and didn't vary between VC, half, and 3/4 ton WC that I know of. Even a T23 6 x 6 could wind itself up to 55 if given long enough. Given the brakes and handling I'd think a 55 limit was sensible.

![]() Actually I agree with you Gordon, given the braking capacity 55 is plenty fast enough, mine would tramp on all day long at 45 but above that you needed written notification to stop. Pete |
