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.
Note the opaque quality of the lacquer remnants on the bell; a characteristic of Buescher's "gold" lacquer of the 1930s.

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.

Like the Model 232 Aristocrat Buescher introduced in 1930, the Model 235 "Aristocrat Custom Built" horns were configured in long, compact wraps. It was a popular style in the 1930s, but fell out of favor in the '40s; After 1939 Buescher would never design another trumpet in a long wrap.
Note here and in the following pic that the main slide is configured to curve down at an angle and enter the third valve case on the left side of the third valve slide.

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.
This rather unusual car/truck was at the show, a rather nice looking pickup conversion on a Ford PInto, it seems to be a good quality job on the custom conversion...

The Model 235's receiver differs from those on all prior Buescher horns. Note how it gradually tapers out to its mouth, which lacks a rounded bushing.
The Model 235 and the Aristocrat Custom Built Models 236, 237 and 238, all in production at the same time, were all fitted with receivers of this type.
I don't know anything about the receiver's specs, or if it really differed from the receivers on other Buescher instruments of the time in any way other than its appearance. Presumably it and the mouthpipe assembly's specifications were different.
