| 4993 15 FEB 1924 RECEIVED The “Nesthill-Bristol” Foot Operated Pump. FITTED WITH ISOLATED GAUGE. No. 101. Price £2 12s. 6d. each. PERFECT IN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. AS SUPPLIED TO H.M. GOVERNMENT. The same pattern in every respect as the No. 100, with the addition of an arrangement whereby the gauge is not in use during pumping operation. The Tyre Valve coupling is fitted with a plunger pin to open the valve. The pressure in the tyre is obtained by pressing the gauge down with the foot. By this means, there is no oscillation of the gauge at every stroke of the pump and the life of the gauge is prolonged to a very considerable extent. The pump can also be used as a tyre tester. The “NESTHILL-BRISTOL” foot pump is the only foot pump that does not creep away from the operator when in use. MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE WITH MINIMUM EFFORT. PUSH ON CONNECTION TO FIT ALL SIZES OF VALVES. INSTANTLY CONNECTED AND ABSOLUTELY AIR TIGHT. OUTSIDE MEASUREMENTS - 19" x 5" x 4". | ||
