    Stupid the year doesn't say much. I bought 4 good used tyres from the 60s at a french scrapyard for my 50s 2cv. I used them for 25 years without any poblem as tread use. But you should keep an eye on them.

    It's rather old was used on cars and tractors, and it seems to be rare see the price they ask for this unrestored one... a 2 cylinder model. http://www.depanoto-boutique.com/magneto-nilmelior-type-24-2-cylindres-c2x21358839 Here an contempory ad from the british branch of the company from 1908.

    Did some research following makes had models with round radiators: Dion-Bouton, Schneider, Krieger and Berliet. But they often had Solex radiators with a 3 arm reinforcement in front. The other makes Chenard et Walcker and Delaunay-Belville. They made big cars but i don't know if they also made trucks in this period...

    Strange indeed, i had an old Michlin wheel that was reinforced with discs rivited on there but this was completely corroded. I gave it to a friend who did hang it on his wall as decoration ;-) Good luck with the rebuild.

    Other question doesn't this type of wheel collect dirt inside?

    Dutch airforce had a lot of german, french and british planes that had to land overhere in ww1. They just took all in 😉

    Would not be nice to drive these slick wheels on muddy roads.

    Did see a lot of those in the past, as there were several US army material depots around in the area.

    A friend of mine went to a French army depot in the 1980s. They were still filled with shermans and other ww2 stuff.

    Didn't torpedos run on compressed air? Later ones were electric i think.

    It's nice to see these moulds made. We had some in the museum collection. I have a huge transmission bearing completely made in wood even the screws. It was painted to look like cast iron.

    A car restorer from a firm that makes aluminium bodies once told me a trick to form aluminium. That was clean it up first to bare. Then trace some lines on it with a bar of soap. Then slowly heating it with a torch from the other side till the soap lines get black. Then the aluminium is softened up enough to form. I don't know if this also works for cast aluminium. Good luck.
