The Institution has now had designed for it, by the Four Wheel Drive Lorry Company, a Tractor, with a Roadless Traction creeper track, which, it is hoped, will be able to launch Life-boats off all types of beach. The carriages of the Life-boats themselves will also be fitted with Roadless Traction creeper tracks. The Tractor will be driven out until she is in deep enough water to float, the Tractor will, by means of the drum, haul the Life-boat off her carriage into the sea.

Very satisfactory preliminary trials took place at the works of the makers, 9th May, and later on there will be actual launching trials at Dungeness, Boulmer and Hoylake..
