In the "100 years of clay winning machinery" by Bill Huxley. Vol 1 has a dozer much the same as the above photo, and vol 2 has a picture of the semi-mounted caper. All were made by Onions
It was Vickers Armstrong that built the Sherman tanks over here and Onions was part of the Vickers Group of companies.
They had made American designed boxes, (Le Tourneau), during the war at The Onions Works at Bilston, Staffs.
After the war they moved to Scotswood, Newcastle and went on to develop and produce their own designs which were very succesfull.
After the illfated Shervick project Onions made the boxes, winches and dozing equipment for the Vickers tractors.
