Kiel 1938 - Mit der Fahrschule durch die Stadt

[Morris Minor]

If I understand right, rather than fining him for speeding, the cops let the air our of one of his tires.

Yes. "Punishment is not always dealt in money, but sometimes in sweat" the text says.

Lol, I'd speed all the time if they just did that. I have a portable compressor and can air it back up in no time.

I'll have to remember.. try not to mix them up.
Schweiß is sweat.
Schweiz is the country.

The second time they might let the air out of two tires.

Did they have portable compressors in 1938? 

I wonder what the cops would have done if it was a woman driver.

Pretty sure only hand pumps were available at the time.

What pressure were those old skinny bias plys run at? I'm guessing higher than current radials? ~45-50 psi?

edit: nope. Looks like 25-32 psi. Luxury cars may have run less pressure for a cushier ride.

Taco runs less pressure for cushier ride. Currently at 25psi for washboardy, snowy backroad smoothness.

I don't even think you could call them bias plys. I think that came later. I only see them referred to as "pneumatic."

I love how empty the streets are. NO TRAFFIC.

Speed is what?  35mph?
