Which way does a cement mixer rotate in England?
Cement mixers have a history of suddenly stopping their rotation if a load of cement is not blended right. When they do they'll roll over, even whilest stopped at a traffic light. This happened some years ago in Garland, TX, instantly killing the lady in a car in the adjacent lane. My question, is this taken into account when programming the rotation? I assume one direction is for mixing or traveling and the other is for emptying. If the rollover is planned, Then it would make sense that British cement mixers would be made differently? Does anyone know which way they rotate? Here, the full loads rotate clockwise viewing from the rear.

Answer 1 :
I don't think there is a safe direction to roll in so I think the designers of cement trucks would just try to prevent it from happening rather than trying to get the truck to roll in the safer direction.
Answer 2 :
The direction of rotation depends upon the design of the mixer, not where it's used. The inside of a cement mixer is a cork screw shape -- one direction mixes the contents and the other empties it. A properly designed system won't rotate if the mix "goes hard" so there must have been something seriously wrong with that mixer in Garland. And a mix doesn't suddenly "go hard", it takes time to start to set.

Answer 1 :
I read it four or five years ago. I liked it well enough, but wasn't blown away by it, mainly because I didn't like the main character (who I thought was incredibly selfish) enough.
Answer 2 :
yes read the book, after seeing the movie. I thought Alex Garland had really tuned into something, even more evident in the book.
Answer 3 :
This is a novel which promises a great deal, but never quite delivers in the end. The individual relationships - between Richard and the beautiful Francoise, between the various members of the community - and the sense of spiralling insanity on Richard's part, are sketched out brilliantly, giving the best parts of the novel an edge of real menace and drawing the reader completely, if temporarily, into the hermetic world the novel creates and occupies. But it's as if Garland, when it comes to it, is afraid to stick the boot in where needed, as if he loves some of his characters rather more than they deserve. The potentially explosive mix never detonates with the power you would hope for. The author is only twenty-six, however, and that he needs to learn ruthlessness is explicable and, given the many true qualities this book has, almost forgivable. Despite its flaws, The Beach is an engaging and interesting debut by an author who shows enormous promise. A little more ice in his heart and he'll surely do great things.
