Special sidewalls that are stiff enough to resist being folded over and

rolling under the weight of the car and back out It's difficult to
explain without diagrams. The pressure monitoring system, BTW, is
required so that you, the driver, know that you have a flat and not to
drive on it too fast or too far.
No, I will be letting the air of your car's
tires.
Oh no you won't ;) I'll get a set of those new Michelin Zero Pressure
tires (ones which the TV ad shows a 3/4" hole being drilled in the sidewall
and the car driving away; 55 MPH for 50 miles... [howzat work anyway?]) I know little
about 1103s, but they were indeed built for number crunching
for people that could not afford a big S/360. The 1103 is related to the
1800, used for process control (leading to the S/7).
You must have been tired at 23:08 when you wrote this :) It's an IBM 1130.
