I go to Amberley Museum, Sussex, a few times each year and this is a compilations of two visits. Fun to ride in the Tiling Stevens petrol/electric bus from 1914. It's not a hybrid; the bus has electric motors, the power supplied by the engine which is, in essence, a generator. Boy, the tyres were hard.

My grandfather trained as an apprentice mechanic on these Tilling-Stevens buses when Glasgow Corporation Transport department first ventured into buses from trams.

Is this solid tire made by Dunlop?

Hi. Thanks for the comment. Not a question I expected. I've looked at some of my images, and there are no discernable markings. There were a number of British tyre manufacturers in the days of hard rubber. The suspension was harsher than modern buses, but not as bad as I expected.

@@WritewheelUK Thank you for your reply. Sorry for deviating from the topic. About 10 years before this bus, Japan's first truck with a domestically produced steam engine was created. The engine was reasonably good, but there is a story that the tires were bad and ended in a big failure. When I see a solid tire, I am very worried.
