Spillers Ltd was a British company that owned flour milling operations, operated bakeries and also sold pet food and equine feeds.
The Foden 'C' Type was the final design of the over type (engine above boiler) Steam Wagen developed from earlier models. This wagon was introduced in the 1920's and had a double crank compound engine which developed 23 B.H.P. at 450 R.P.M. It was fitted with a spur gearing giving speeds up to 17 M.P.H., but special gearing could be ordered which would enable the wagon to achieve 27 M.P.H. double the permitted speed limit for such wagons.
