1955 Commer B Series with Berryman Loader

1955 Commer B Series with six cylinder petrol engine with 4 speed gear box. Truck has a Berryman loader - a two man operation to operate. One man in the cab with the winch control and the other man on the scoop. The scoop is winched up the to the top of the frame were the gravel is tipped in to the back of the truck mechanically, then the scoop slides back down the ramp and dragged back by the operator for another load of gravel or sand. Hi-tech in the 40s & 50s and quicker than a hand shovel?
