Le Prof Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Hi @craignation Thanks, the photos help. https://handcartz.smugmug.com/CARTS/Vickers-Cart-1/ The link shows these tyres in use on Vickers gun carts. The first example has different spoke lacing, the others seem to be similar to yours, except that the fixing nut is different. Yours may be another variation of this, or wheels from this application reused for another, or these tyres would have been available for civilian applications. I hope this helps.
