Here is a machine down in South Australia. It is a model -200-. The emblem on the front is a capital "C" on a shield with a rampant bison atop. I have no idea what the connection is there. The makers plate says "Blackwood Hodge & Son" but in my eyes this jigger is "Galion 104" all the way. Also note in one rear end shot the lifting lug still attached to the frame, and I don't recall seeing 10 stud disc wheels on a medium duty machine before.
The Govt. of South Australia bought a consignment of 11 of these graders in the mid to late 1950's to build and maintain access and haul roads at a place called "Radium Hill" in the north of the state and the ore was trucked south to Port Pirie for shipment. This was the first export of uranium ore from this country. I don't know which country received it though.
