GUIDE for Tire and Corresponding Rim Sizes

My BSA buddy John Sommers helped me find the following information in an old Nicholson Bros. "Modern Motorcycle Mechanics" catalog. I know the last time I tried searching the internet to figure out how tire sizes correspond to rim sizes I struck out....and I therefore decided to share this information via my website hoping it may help others.
