Abstract: The present invention provides a plastics-covered metal plate excellent in chipping resistance, corrosion resistance etc. made by covering one surface or both surfaces of a metal plate with at least two kinds of plastics layers whose rates of elongation are different and a process of covering a car body by using said covered metal plate.

Abstract: A vehicle having an elongated fore-and-aft main frame from opposite sides of which laterally disposed and spaced apart rigid support portions project. The support portions are horizontally coplanar and are arranged in pairs so that each pair supports a bale between them, the spacing of the portions in each pair being such that the bale is supported with its axis horizontal and above the plane of the supports. The supports terminate in free outer ends to facilitate loading and unloading of the bales. Bale stops are fixedly carried by the main frame centrally between transversely aligned pairs of support portions so as to limit inward movement of the bales when loaded and carried by the vehicle.
