UK Patent Numbers

[woa2]

I was looking at dating a tyre gauge when I found this website. It gives the Patent numbers by year, so you can date items by the issuing of a patent number.

I can now date my tyre gauge as post 1954. I was hoping it was wartime.......

Robert,

Even if you had a wartime tyre guage for your vehicle, you would still have postwar air in the tyres

Most importantly! Do you have the right amount of air in the right sort of tyres? :-D

Where can I get some wartime American air for my ww11 Hochkiss Jeep

Hello,

 

Wartime ones are dated and have the crows foot, and come in a little wooden tube. It's shorter and fatter than a normal gauge. I have one in my Mw tool kit, i guess yours would have been similar?

No, according to the illustrations in the Ford Drivers handbook, the tyre gauge looks like a normal style one, not the shorter one. It also comes in a plastic or leather case (I can't tell from the drawing). The search for a complete tool kit continues.....

 

Thanks for the photo.
