bleeco leaflets

This selection of leaflets is undated, but judging from the lanterns, brackets and equipment advertised, it probably dates from the late 1940s through to the 1950s. I've skipped the sections on floodlights, Belisha Beacons and concentrated solely on the street lighting equipment.

As the MOT Final Report is mentioned in Leaflet 105, that puts its date as post 1937. The specification of MB bulbs for Sunstar lanterns suggests a date of 1947 or later, as that's when the MB was developed. And Leaflet 116 was produced after 1952 as it mentions MOT Circular No. 685 for flashing beacons for pedestrian crossings.

So whilst the leaflets feature probably older lanterns from before the Second World War, various clues point to them being from a later period.
