In the early 1940s, they serviced cars and sold petrol, as well as having the car salesroom. As part of the war effort during <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the garage was divided into two, with one half servicing cars for essential users, such as doctors, vets and farmers, and the other half servicing Morris 15 cwt Quads and Mobile workshops for the army. They also worked on parts for <a href="/wiki/Spitfire" class="mw-redirect" title="Spitfire">Spitfire</a> aircraft, and the workforce was swelled by a number of Italian prisoners of war during this period.<sup id="cite_ref-MIS_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MIS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The company diversified once hostilities had ceased, and Mervyn Morris produced designs for a battery electric vehicle. Staples such as bread and milk were delivered in many parts of the country by horse and cart, and the electric vehicle developed into a cheaper solution for milk deliveries. Rodington Dairy was the first to order a vehicle, which was delivered to them in early 1951. A base for manufacturing the vehicles was set up at <a href="/wiki/Harlescott" title="Harlescott">Harlescott</a>, a suburb to the north of <a href="/wiki/Shrewsbury" title="Shrewsbury">Shrewsbury</a>, and they obtained wiring harnesses from Hartley Electromotive,<sup id="cite_ref-MIS_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-MIS-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> an electrical engineering company which had moved to Monkmoor, to the east of Shrewsbury, in 1949.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1951, United Dairies circulated a specification for a milk delivery vehicle to a number of potential manufacturers, who were asked to produce prototypes. W&E were assisted in this by Mickleover Transport, a subsidiary of United Dairies, who were responsible for managing the transport needs of the company. The prototype was tested, and two significant changes were made before production started. The transmission was replaced with a modified design, for which Mickleover obtained a patent, and the electrical control gear was made more robust. By 1953, some 700 were in service, and W&E were able to make them available to other customers. United Dairies placed an order for a further 1,250 vehicles in mid-1953. The vehicle was a 3-wheeled design, with a single wheel at the front, steered by a tiller, and two powered wheels at the back. The turning circle was just 18 feet (5.5 m), and the motor had a chain drive to a bevel shaft, which included a rubber-bonded coupling, to reduce starting and braking torque. This gave good starting performance, even when there was snow or ice on the road surface. Batteries were located beneath the driver's seat, and the 29-volt motor was controlled by a Sharp contactor and four-stage controller.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/The_Transport_Museum,_Wythall" class="mw-redirect" title="The Transport Museum, Wythall">The Transport Museum, Wythall</a>, which has amassed a large collection of milk floats, the first W&E vehicle was supplied to United Dairies in 1951. Despite its limited protection for the driver, it was an immediate success, and United Dairies placed an order for a further 1,500 vehicles. The 3-wheeled design was the mainstay of W&E's production, with United Dairies eventually ordering over 3,000 more. When the first vehicle, which carries the registration number XMT 422, reached the end of its working life, it was returned to W&E, who subsequently donated it to the Transport Museum, where it can be seen, restored to its 1952 condition.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg/220px-Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="219" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg/330px-Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg/440px-Howards_Dairies_W%26E_Freightliner.jpg 2x" data-file-width="940" data-file-height="935" /></a><figcaption>A Freightliner belonging to Howards Dairies, No. 670, registration OHJ 420F delivering milk to cafes by <a href="/wiki/Southend_Pier" title="Southend Pier">Southend Pier</a>, Essex, around 1970</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg/220px-Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="124" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg/330px-Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8b/Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg/440px-Wales_%26_Edwards_Loadmaster_milkfloat.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4128" data-file-height="2322" /></a><figcaption>A 5-wheel Loadmaster milkfloat, built in 1963, registration number 8505 PF, and now preserved at the Transport Museum, Wythall</figcaption></figure> <p>On the early vehicles, the control panel and tiller gear were covered by two metal panels, and some protection was offered to the driver by a canvas screen. In 1955, Mickleover Transport designed and made a front cowl to replace the panels, which was made of glasspol, a polyester resin reinforced with glass-fibre matting. The cowls were initially fitted to 100 vehicles, and improved access to the control panel and tiller gear. They contained orange pigment, of the same colour as the United Dairies livery, which meant that they did not have to be painted once manufactured. Mickleover Transport intended to fit them to a large number of vehicles.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1956, W&E introduced a 25 <a href="/wiki/Hundredweight" title="Hundredweight">cwt</a> vehicle where the complete cab was made of glasspol.

The trailer was rebuilt from an open-sided dairy vehicle to an enclosed box van in 1985, and on withdrawal, it was donated to the Wythall Transport Museum,<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> who have since rebuilt the trailer in its original form. </p><p>W&E felt that the maximum payload for their three-wheeled float was 30 cwt, and such a model was known as the Major. Bigger payloads required a four-wheeled float, and the Freightliner was showcased at the 1966 Royal Dairy Show. It came as a 50 cwt model and twin tyres were fitted on the rear axle. In order to retain the manoeuvrability of the three-wheeled vehicles, the front springs and steering drag link were placed inside the frames, which allowed a kerb-to-kerb turning circle of 30 feet (9.1 m) to be achieved. The wheelbase was 7.75 feet (2.36 m), with the cab located in front of the front wheels, to give easy access to the driving position. Three models were available, with top speeds of 14 miles per hour (23 km/h), 17 mph (27 km/h) and 20 mph (32 km/h). The working range was from 30 to 40 miles (48 to 64 km), and a series resistance controller was fitted as standard, although the model at the Dairy Show had a <a href="/wiki/Thyristor" title="Thyristor">thyristor</a> control unit.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Acquisition">Acquisition</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wales_%26_Edwards&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Acquisition"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Following changes in legislation which allowed milk to be sold by supermarkets and garages at lower prices than the home delivery dairies could charge, sales of milk floats plummeted.
