Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL4/AD16.10.29. NESTHILL TYRE PUMPS. The sample Nesthill No.9 Compact Foot Pump received for test compares as follows with the No.7 Compact which is at present standard Weight Max.Height. Max.Length Max.Width Folded Folded Folded No.7 Compact 7 lbs 2.5" 16.5" 4" 12 ozs. No.9 " 7 lbs 2.5" 14" 4" As far as pumping efficiency is concerned, both pumps are equal, they are both equally well made and the price is the same (Roy{Sir Henry Royce}4/MG11.10.29). As the No.9 model is lighter and smaller and equal in other respects to the No.7 Compact, we should recommend that it should be used in preference to No.7. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. | ||
