Check out this bad boy, on the bench today.
It's very old and should really be in a museum rather than a studio (or my bench!).
It is a Shaftesbury Velodyne Supreme! Sounds more like a bicycle to me. The plate is stamped "prov pat": I wonder if it was a prototype?
FOUR ribbons wired in series!!!
In fact it seems to be one giant ribbon that goes round corners, and each length of ribbon has a 'node' in the middle, so I guess we could call it 8 elements, each at 45 mm x 4 mm. So 360 mm of vibrating ribbon!
And there is no transformer. I guess the designer thought it had enough Z already!
Where are the ribbon boys? Marik, Roddy?
