The instructions do cover it. You are supposed to iron them before use.

I'll be they're 00 anyway, are they? Haven't seen them yet

Certainly none built motor fitted, and none listed in the known conversions.
I can't see there would be a need for non-driving brakes - The driving trailers were all brakes, and they weren't intended for routes with high demand for luggage space needing a second van in a two/coach train.

On a slightly different tack, I wonder at the sense of sending out free folded backscenes with an issue, as I don't know anyone who would want a backscene with regularly spaced creases in it

Were the amount of digits on your Divi Number different across different CO-OPs?

I thought ours in Perth Scotland had five numbers although that may have been our shared line telephone number!

I remember the vacuum tubes but also the string pulley system of transferring cash and receipts to the cashier.

Goodness, how we have advanced in seventy years.

I love that Leonard Cohen song, such great lyrics. Mind you I'm also a really big Wizzard fan as they were around in my teen years. The mid-70's were a wonderful time for good Xmas tunes, apart of Wizzard and Slade you had Elton John, Mud, The Goodies, The Wombles and many more.....

No, no, no, no not Wizzard... please...

I hate Xmas songs.

I like the Leonard Cohen though (quite jolly for him!).

I run our local Men's Shed Music appreciation group, and our last meeting of the year was Wednesday. The theme was "Religion", and this was my take on it.....

Quote from: Wrinkly1 on December 12, 2025, 06:38:38 AMMy main memory of our local Co-Op is not the divi number, but having to give your money to the counter staff who then put it into an overhead wire-powered container which "shot" it by spring power to the cashier sealed inside an office. You then waited for your change and receipt to be sent back.
Later, a large department store (Fairfax House) was opened in central Bristol which used pneumatic tubes to send the money instead.

I qualified to service the vacuum systems..
The biggest problems were foreign objects in the tubes.
Coffee grounds at one Tesco's, the tube entrance was next to the waste bin in one coffee shop.
And a tent support in another!! Yep they put up a permanent tent / gazebo by drilling a hole in a car park.. straight through the tube to the garage.
