Description
This photo is an excellent high quality 8” x 10” black & white glossy photo new reproduction of a photo of an AUTOCAR DC10364-SOH Tandem-Axle Mixer with Concrete Mixer #38, operated by MORSE SAND & GRAVEL CO., Attleboro, Mass.Note: I have a total of 5 Morse Dumps and Mixer photos available, all from the 1950s/1960s.
”SAMPLE” will not appear on your photo, it is only on the scanned image.
DESCRIPTION: This Morse Mixer #38 is delivering a load of ready-mixed concrete to a bridge construction project having dumped into a crane’s concrete bucket.The date of this Autocar Factory Promotional photo is unknown, but from the truck serial numbers it looks to be from the late 1960s. The truck specs appear on this photo … in the early 1960s a Cummins 190-hp diesel was thought to be ‘big’ power, and with a 5x3 transmission, 65,000-lb. rears, and 11.00-24 tires this Autocar would have been spec’d for heavy-duty work.
MORSE SAND & GRAVEL CO.: was a large sand & gravel operation and ready-mixed concrete producers on Tiffany St. in Attleboro, Mass. In a 1960s magazine ad I’ve seen on Morse’s Allis-Chalmers pit equipment, it was mentioned that they produced over 100,000 CY on concrete per year at that time. From some old information I have, Morse was said to running 30 Autocar dumps and mixers. I believe now some 50-60 years later the pit is known as Attleboro Sand & Gravel.
If you have any information on Morse, I would appreciate hearing from you … Thanks!
