| The Ideal Pump for Low Pressure Tyres. A REAL MONEY-SAVER. MANUFACTURERS of Low Pressure Tyres emphasize the absolute necessity to maintain tyres of this type at correct pressure. The “B.P.T. PUMP” at 25/- COMPLETE WITH ACCURATE GAUGE, entirely meets the requirement of a cheap but efficient Pump for this purpose. THE 25/- PUMP The “B.P.T. Pump” is a real money-saver. It will with the minimum effort keep the tyres correctly inflated, and so lengthen their life. This Pump when folded is the most compact of all foot pumps, will store comfortably in the tool box of the smallest cars, viz., The “Austin Seven.” This feature alone places it ahead of all competitors. Illustration of the B.P.T. Pump (open). ATTENTION is specially directed to the robust construction of this All-Steel Pump, built for honest service. The barrel is weldless steel, not brass which is easily damaged. Accurate high-grade spring type Pressure Gauge is fitted. When ordering state if for high or low pressure readings. The patent toggle leverage with roller bearings obtains long stroke with low foot lift, giving maximum output of air, greater than many foot pumps having three or four inches higher foot lift. A foot operated Pump cannot claim to be well designed if the height of the toe-step exceeds 11in. from the ground. It is useless providing a high foot lift which is not possible to operate comfortably, and accordingly never used. Therefore always enquire the height of the toe-step before buying a Foot Pump. [Boxed Text] Complete with accurate high-grade pressure gauge Packed in stout box. Illustration of B.P.T. Pump (closed). 14½ ins. long | 4 ins. wide | 2¾ ins. deep Nothing better than “BRISTOL” Pumps — Ask the man who owns one. | ||
