Here are some pictures of a 10.50-13 tyre dated 7/1944, manufactured for the War Department by Henley's Tyre & Rubber Co Ltd. I had not seen this brand before.

Goodyear 10.50-20, dated 1/1941.

"N C /|\ D" denotes Canadian Department of National Defence, so these tyres were manufactured on a Canadian government contract.

Hi Hanno:

this tire I found in Brussels, he came from the airport Zaventem the farmer told me
I have other suppliers of tire brands here.
I'm going to take pictures of it and try to post here, I still have not found a solution to reduce the photos.

Hanno,

You are indeed correct, and as I'm a pedantic bug**r as well, I moved quickly to edit that post! My excuse is I've been writing ammunition sizes like 7.62 x 54 several times over the last few days ... OK, no excuse at all, really!!

Hi Guy,

This may be of help:

If you are using a PC (Windows), and not Apple, you should already have Microsoft Paint installed. If not, you can download it for free.

All you need to do is right click the picture then select "Open with">Paint
Next click on "Resize" on top left corner. Change radio button to "Pixels".
Change "Horizontal" box to 1200 (maximum size for posting on MLU), Click OK and save. It is now all done.

There are many other ways to resize photos with various photo editors but I have found "Paint" to be simple and convenient and as it came with Windows on my PC there was no extra effort to use it.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,

[Mike Cecil]

As Jacques said, many ways to reduce the size.

If your computer has MS Office, then Microsoft Office Picture Manager is very simple - you can reduce the image size by nominating a percentage of the original.
Right click on the image.
Go to 'Open With', and you will find MS Picture Manager.
Once the image opens, click 'Picture' in the tool bar.
The box that opens has 'resize' toward the bottom.
Click 'resize' and a box comes open on the right of the screen.
Click 'Percentage of original width x height' and choose the % you want to end up with.
Save the image under a new/modified name, or the original will be resized.

Hanno,
Henleys were an old tyre maker going back to the solid tyre era, based in Gravesend. Around 1957 they were bought out by Avon Tyres.
