    3. I've been reading with interest the discussion about Henry Jones team owner and at the same time something has been niggling my memory and then I remembered. I have a postcard of what I believe to be a steam traction engine along with two men, one in the cabin the other standing beside the engine, on the side of the engine is a sign that reads Hy Jones & Sons, Haulage Contractors, Tel. 249 Birkenhead. There is a tray on the rear full with what may be coal or perhaps just rubble. I wouldn't like to guess at a date but on the rear of the postcard is inscribed 'Puzzule for young Bill, find the charriot'. I think the Bill referred to could well have been my Grandfather who was born in 1895 and grew up in and around Birkenhead, the postcard was found among his possesions after his death in 1963. If Margaret would like to contact me off list I will happily send her a scanned copy of the post card. Sue Australia
