Hello fellow listmembers.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about older style Co2 inflators.

My recently aquired Hetchins (1955) has a block brazed onto the back of the seat tube to mount the clip for such an inflator.

I wonder what type of inflator it would have had and which companies made them? There is a listing for one in a copy of Cyclists Aids circa 1952 but no illustration ! I also wonder if any list member has one they would like to part with?

I also wonder if its still possible to obtain the Co2 cylinders for them??

Cheers,

John
