@jim.snowdon sorry, I think I failed to read this when first posted. My question is, as always, to what period do these statements apply? In other words, what is the date of the RCH regulations to which you refer?

I was quoting from the December 1937 regulations. The same text appears in the 1953 BTC/BR regulations, apart from the reference to the back pressure check on re-tyred wheels with cast iron bosses. By 1953 wheels with cast iron bosses and in need of re-tyring were to be scrapped instead.
