zodiac ◊ 2012-04-25 10:15	I have always thought these models were named "Universal", like here http://www.heckflosse.de/modelle/230Uni.htm .

dsl ◊ 2012-04-27 23:25	I don't think Crayford did fintail conversions, and like ingo my impression is that Universal was low roof only (though happy to be proved wrong). Which leaves Binz, though with the problem of trying to discover what one was doing in UK. Were there any imports? Possibly outside M-B distribution as a specialist conversion direct from Binz?? Also not used by public/NHS hospitals in UK - only for private clinic/hospital?? -- Last edit: 2012-04-28 00:18:21
