Thanks Tony...as if I dont already spend too much time on this site!.
With great reluctance a few years ago I sold my fathers 100 year old Brittania. 4 inch, long bed and originally treadle operated. Had a gap bed although how anyone could utilise with a treadle I dunno! Sadly the treadle and flywheel were scrapped decades ago reducing the value. Unlike moderns it looked like a lathe. The hum with join bump of the fast/loose belting is amongst my very earliest memories.
