    Default Yet even more turret stuff - Birmingham's version.

    A couple of Wards. One small and old, the other bigger and newer.

    Vapour,

    When you look closely you'll notice quite a few differences. Same size machine. I reckon the grey one might be older. The No.O illustrated below is from Ward's 1938 catalogue. The seller might have increased his chances of selling the machine if he had spelled capstan correctly.

    Bob.
