    1. [INDIA] motor transport/road infrastructure in rural areas, 1920-1960
    2. Stefan Tetzlaff
    3. Hello all, I had earlier send an information request regarding oil comanies' operations in South Asia between the 1900s to 1960s, to which some of you thankfully responded. I am now more and more shifting my interest towards the early history of motor transport and improved road infrastructure in rural areas of northern India/southern and eastern Pakistan between the mid-1920s to early 1960s. This includes different sorts of motor transport such as bus services and goods transport by lorries. You may want to look at some of my earlier discussions for further explanation and visual evidence http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/pre-1950/85030-early-20th-century-road-infrastructure-bus-transport-services-automobile-traffic.html http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/commercial-vehicles-india/85989-early-use-lorries-tractors-etc.html Does anybody on this list have an interest in these issues? Can anybody provide historical information on developments in the time under review? I would be very grateful for information on this subject from eye witnesses of the time or their descendants, be they local transport users and operators, corporate or governmental organisations or from any other field. Please do get in touch! Best wishes, Stefan
