John Boyd Dunlop's original pneumatic tyre.

    I'm currently in the process of organizing a design exhibition displaying the history of design in Ireland. Dunlop designed the original pneumatic tyre for his son's tricycle in the north in the late 1800s. Does anyone know of any Irish museums which would have one of the originals in stock? Or anyone who may have it in their possession?

    Anyone with any information regards to an original tyre's location would be of great help. Thanks a mil.

    I don't know if they have one, but I'd imagine the best place to check would be the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Cultra.

    The fact that he was a Scot is interesting in light of your signature.
