Made in 1961, you have to admire their imagination and inventiveness, we still haven't truly arrived at what they portrayed but I don't think it will be too long

EDIT -
You just beat me too it Dennis  :)

Many of the early ones were made in the large room of Islet Park House in the late 50s, early 60s before they moved to Slough trading estate. It's on the Thames 1/2 mile from me and now divided into flats. There some pics here:

The first Slough site is a tyre fitters and the bigger second demolished.

What about Twizzle and Jiffy the Broomstick Man. I can still remember the names but the faces have faded a little

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Not a lot of progress as I have had a nasty Virus since Christmas Eve with the green shoots of recovery appearing only in the last couple of days.

Finally fitted the front wheel - the disc seems to be binding on the new pads even though there is no fluid in the system & the piston is completely free - I suspect it's something to do with the weird long screw / spring arrangement on the pivot arm. I need to check the manual as to what to do.

By the time I had fitted the wheel and turned the bike round on the stand so the front wheel was in the clamp I was too tired to do any more today.

I'm liking the look of the wheels now they are both fitted - hopefully I can start fitting  the exhuast system next.
