What is going on here….. a serious accident is about to occur if that spilt oil is not cleaned up !

Typical pre-1974 H&S Act scene, with loose wooden plank for crossing inspection pit. If Vics my memory is correct then the pipe under the raised skirting is connected to the engine block coolant filler/drain valve. The radiator filler/drain valve is to the right of the cab step directly above the vertical speedo cable. The equipment on the wheeled trolley may be a hose drum for the hose to be wrapped round for storage purposes. The other two skirtings have been raised to enable the battery boxes to pulled out for battery maintenance.

Thanks Vic -I knew you would know!
