We recieved today the final welded components for the first time and oput everything next to each other to see how large the whole thing will be! One word: Enormous!
The Aristocrat Custom Built horns were engraved with a more elaborate pattern than on the base line Aristocrat model trumpets. They are all engraved in an Art-Deco inspired pattern; a style Buescher started using in the early '30s.
Note the opaque quality of the lacquer remnants on the bell; a characteristic of Buescher's "gold" lacquer of the 1930s.
The Aristocrat Custom Built trumpets were multi-pitch horns that could be tuned to Bb or A.
The main tuning slide has two sections. Note the two rounded vertical braces just behind the "C" shaped brace in the main slide's crook. Those braces support an independent stretch of tubing.
When tuning to regular Bb, you just adjusted the main slide as usual, sliding the whole main assembly in and out. When you wanted to tune to A, you slid the main slide out and then pulled the portion of the slide assembly with the "C" brace even farther out.
Note the knurled ring on tubing extending from the third valve case to the main slide. Just to the right of that ring you can threading in the tube. The ring is a threaded ferrule used to lock the slide into position when it was extended.
The Model 235's bell-tail taper is long and gradual; the taper on the Aristocrat horns was similar but perhaps a little tighter. The flare out to the bell's rim, here and on the Aristocrat, starts out pretty close to the bell's mouth. Both models seem to have been designed to deliver a compact, focused tone.

Bradford built up some custom wheels for Heather's Rockcity. All the bikes for the show used Velocity wheels; for Heather we opted for the Velocity Aero laced to some low-flange single-fixed hubs from Phil Wood & Co.
In 1967 the Ministry of Transport commissioned a fleet of seven custom-built Bedford vehicles to go around the country promoting British production techniques. Only one bus survives and it took the current owner Ollie Halls five years to retore the mobile cinema to it's pristine condition. The Vintage Mobile Cinema seats 22 in comfort and has a state-of-the-art HD digital projection unit. Above the cab there is ( for the 1960's ) a futuristic-looking clear Perspex dome.

Florida - Madeiras Beach. I don't know if it's the owner sitting behind but he looks like he fits the bill!
I mean, it looks like it is owned by either an arrogant architect who custom-built it in the 80's, or it's home to a cocaine-addicted lawyer who picked this neighborhood for its total obscurity.

Buescher's Bell, Triangle and Tuning Fork "True-Tone" logo, stamped on the third valve case. Buescher had used that logo since about the 1910s.
