Since the Bath relays were on B6 and B8 then receiving B7 after their switch-on would have been a 'challenge'.

Simon - yes I found that Antiference's BI, BII and BIII 'Trumatch' designs - both mechanical and electrical - were good. Mind you I have a soft spot for some J-Beam designs as well with their use (in the early days) of alloy nuts and bolts. J-Beam's early PBM18 designs were not bad - and in the case of Group A, they had impressively long booms!
