(1) BALLOON TIRES AND RIMS FOR PASSENGER-CARS - REVISION A suggestion was made that the word "balloon" be dropped from the title as this table is understood to be a table of passenger-car tires and rims for original equipment and the word "balloon" is superfluous. It was suggested that an introductory statement be added to explain the basis on which the table was founded and to designate the purpose of the table of sizes as laid down. It was the consensus of opinion that the table should represent a suitable series for original equipment and should be complete enough for all engineering purposes. | ||
