This machine is preserved at the North west Museum of Road Transport, St. Helens. In used condition, this machine was used in Leeds for a short period approx 1938/9. This system used thin duralumin casings, which were unable to withstand the 'welly' of everyday working conditions. The complexity of their working system which involved close tolerances between operating parts, proved succeptible to failure - the system had a short life wherever used.
Like many other surviving machines, the rubber ejector roller on this machine is mal-formed, rendering the machine unable to issue a ticket. | |
