Yes Steve agreed I have an earlier version on
linen back but the ravages of time, and the
misspent years of being a smoker took their
toll. Have kept it but in a tube so I cannot
smell the stale tobacco smoke. Circa 1959-60
from Austin Forsyth's little shop in Victoria
St...what memories..

I also have one produced in b/w with LEDS
around the circumference 10-deg intervals and
driven from my rotator. This I picked up when
working in CA but I believe they are no
longer available. Surprised nobody
resurrected it as amongst it clever bits is a
facility to show  beam width depending on
antenna and reverse LP LED, Also being 18"
diameter it is very readable even in low
level lighting.
