There's a couple of discrepancies I've noticed. Firstly, the text says that the PEG was developed for the BBC, yet a press cutting says that the one in the picture is with London Weekend Television (presumably att their Wembley studios)
Secondly, the makers plate says "220 - 240V, 60 cycles, though the '60 cycles' looks like an overlaid label. 220V is the standard voltage for most of Mainland Europe, whereas the U.K. was and still is 240V. Both are at 50 cycles (per second), whereas the USA is 60 cycles, but they are only 115V. An explanation. please.
Streetly took their name from a village north of Birmingham, west of Sutton Coldfield. I thought Streetly was JUST in Staffordshire, or were there boundary changes?
