Ticket machine

In the days when buses had conductors - a virtually extinct species these days - they were armed with ticket machines similar to this. The example shown here was the weapon of choice for Stockport Corporation Transport.

I used one of those as a guard on the Festiniog Railway in the 1980s & 1990s : usually referred to as the TIMs
And the "Setright" just showing into on the left of the picture was a feature of the Ravenglass & Eskdale in a similar time period.

Thanks for the reply. And apologies for the delay, but have been out out of action for a while. I used these when I worked as a bus conductor on Stockport Corporation back in the day - when I was 17!. The Setright were used by the rival North Western Road Car Co.
