Memories of the Morris Isis
the photograph of the Morris Isis (Yorkshire Post, January 27) brings back memories.
We made aluminium castings for gramophone turntables for a man called Arnold Sugden who traded as Connoisseur and was a pioneer of stereo and made high quality sound reproduction equipment. The drive for the turntable was a rubber wheel running on the inside rim of the cast aluminium turntable.
Perfection was demanded and achieved.

There was no central support pillar so he could get large packages on the back seat.
Spending too many pennies
From: David Treacher, Nelson Road, Hull.
IT’S not good that the public in Hull are asked to pay 30p to use the toilet via a turnstile in Hull interchange waiting room.
I travel about and most rail and bus interchanges in other towns and cities are free to use.

Hide AdMany have the means to pay, but with a turnstile, change is not given and the exact money must be used.
Some people will only have notes, cards and larger coins.
Many will suffer medical conditions and will need urgent use of the toilet at times and can’t really wait to either find the coins or find another free toilet, what are they supposed to do?
It can cause distress and embarrassment to many.
