With reference to Mr. John Craig's tyre pump. We should be interested to know what advantages Mr. Craig claims that his pump has over the Bavox type of compressor. The Bavox appears to us to be very much lighter and less complicated, for a given air delivery. The whole pump appears to be very compact but we do not think Mr. Royce would be interested in it unless it was already a commercial proposition.
