Mr. Royce's note recommending that tyre pressure testers be always carried. ------------------------------------------ Mr. Nadin informed the Committee that Messrs.

The Committee agreed that this should be done. 87th Meeting Re Tyre pressure testers - note from Mr. Royce R11/D121011. Nov. 28. 11. Mr. Nadin informed the Committee that he had obtained a gauge from Messrs. Schaffer & Budenberg, and that he found it necessary to obtain another connection; this he was ordering from Messrs. Lucas. Re Mr. Oldham's suggestion HO3/TB171111 attached. (a) Re Mechanical type pump. It was suggested that a pump of this description should be fitted as standard and that possibly our type of air pump could be adapted for the purpose. The Committee discussed this matter at some length, and recommended that Mr. Bailey should go into the matter further and report to the Committee. Messrs. Wormald, Bailey and Platford were of the opinion that there is not sufficient demand for a pump of this description, but agreed that it would be worth while to investigate the matter further. | ||
