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 215 was loaded with Buescher's bottom-sprung "Pin" style valves, similar to the valves Buescher had been using in the Aristocrat and Custom Built models since the 1930s.
Instead of being guided by a "star" type guide at the top of the valve, there is a lug milled into the side of the valve itself that fits into a groove cut into the valve casing's inside wall.
Buescher's pin valves seem to be very durable; I've played a number of Buescher's Custom-Built horns from the '30s that were in physically terrible shape - except for the valves!!
