THE BEACON DAIRY FLOATS HISTORY :
"BOC" WAS IN DAILY USE UNTIL JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO ALONG WITH IT'S SISTER FLOAT NOK 686X ,"NOK"
"BOC" AND "NOK", WERE BOTH ORDERED ON NOVEMBER 1978 AND BOTH WERE DELIVERED NEW TO THE DAIRY IN APRIL 1979
BOTH FLOATS WORKED THE ROADS OF THE BEACON AREA OF WALSALL ALL THEIR WORKING LIVES.
"BOC" AND "NOK" WERE BROUGHT TO UPDATE THE DAIRY'S ORIGINAL PAIR OF MORRISON D1 FLOATS, "OOM 94G" AND "OOM 95G".
WHILST "OOM 94G" WAS EVENTUALLY SCRAPPED,"OOM 95G", NOT ONLY SURVIVED BUT WAS RE-CABBED IN EARLY 2000's AND KEPT AS A BACK UP FLOAT FOR "BOC AND NOK" AND WE HAVE THIS FLOAT BACK KNOW AND IT WILL BE FULLY RESTORED READY FOR IT'S NEXT OWNER. ( FEEL FREE TO CALL US FOR FULL DETAILS )
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE SO MUCH HISTORY, IN-FACT NEARLY ALL THE ELECTRIC FLOAT HISTORY FROM BEACON DAIRY THAT THEY USED FOR SO MANY YEARS, THERE WAS ALSO ONE OTHER FLOAT IN THE MID 70's ON THE ROUNDS "GRE 891N" BUT SADLY THIS AS WAS THE OTHER MORRISON D1, "OOM 94G" SCRAPPED.
BOTH F TYPE FLOATS WERE SUPPLIED NEW BY THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER, COMPTON ELECTRICARS LIMITED OF CROWN AVENUE, DUKESTOWN, TREDEGAR GWENT.
WE STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SALES INVOICES FOR BOTH THE F TYPE FLOATS, BATTERIES AND CHARGERS.
"BOC" COST £7129. 50, AND "NOK" WAS A BIT MORE EXPENSIVE AT £7323. 15
THEY WERE BOTH BUILT TO ORDER AND WERE BOTH TYPE FL90/ 36, MODEL H14's, 36 CELL FLOATS.
SADLY WE DON'T HAVE THE ORIGINAL SALES INVOICES FOR THE 2 1969 D1's "OOM 94G" AND "OOM 95G" BUT WE DO HAVE SOME PAPERWORK INCLUDING OLD V5's.
