| By/Mtn. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1993 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG26.6.25. DUNLOP TYRE PUMP. The report on the new tyre pump shows that it is in every way superior to the one we have previously tried i.e., the standard type. The rubber connections are also superior, but should be 6" longer than those supplied. The only objection to this pump appears to be that it is slightly more bulky than the standard type. It will definitely have to be altered if it is to fit into the tool kit as at present supplied by Barkers. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
