SUMB (4 x 4) 1,500 kg MH 600 BS truck (France), Trucks

Development
The SUMB (Simca-Unic Marmon-Bocquet) 1,500 kg model MH 600 BS truck was developed in the late 1950s by M Bocquet, who was president of Marmon-Herrington which subsequently became Marmon-Bocquet. Series production was undertaken from 1964 and although production ceased some time ago, it remains in service with the French Army.

Description
The engine and cab of the SUMB are at the front with the cargo area at the rear. The cab has two doors and a canvas top mounted on an articulated frame, which enables the top to be folded to the rear to reduce the vehicle's overall height. The windscreen can be folded forward onto the bonnet. The rear cargo area has a drop tailgate, bows and a removable tarpaulin cover. A bench seat can be fitted down the centre of the rear cargo area when the truck is carrying passengers. A locking differential is fitted to the rear axle. Some versions have a front-mounted winch with 60 m of cable.A long wheelbase model of this vehicle, known as the SUMB (4 × 4) 3,000 kg truck, was produced from 1971 with the same engine, transmission and cab as the 1,500 kg version.Variants include a fuel servicing vehicle and a light digger with a Poclain light shovel mounted to the rear of the cab. The SUMB is also used to carry communication shelters.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his
birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be
remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm;
Life isn't always fair; and maybe it was my fault.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more
than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in
charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but
overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy
charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from
school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding
an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job
that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.

It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent
to administer sun lotion or an Elastoplast to a student; but could not
inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.

Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became
contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better
treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't
defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue
you for assault.

Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to
realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her
lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his
wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is
survived by his 4 stepbrothers;I Know My Rights, I Want It Now, Someone Else
Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you
still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.'

And a little extra........................

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600
employees and has the following statistics ?

It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out
hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.
