Toscead betweox fadungum "Stæfford"

A major activity in the town since [[1903]] has been heavy [[electrical engineering]], particularly producing [[power station]] [[transformer]]s, exported around the world. The works have been successively owned by [[Siemens AG|Siemens]], [[English Electric]], [[The General Electric Company plc|GEC]], GEC Alsthom, [[Alstom]] and most recently [[Areva]]. Every so often a delivery takes to the road. Each transformer weighs several hundred [[ton]]s and so a sort of [[road train]] is used. The weight is spread by a 160-wheel cradle, pulled by an 8-wheel drive [[FAUN]] ''[[Goliath]]'' tractor unit and pushed by two more.
