With regard to the Schrader Universal pump connection supplied in all tools kits, the price of which is 1/7d. We have no recollection of ever seeing one of these used, they are certainly not necessary with the present well base rims, either with, or without discs fitted to the wheels. We should, therefore, recommend that this connection be deleted from all tool kits as soon as possible. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.Dodd. | ||
