Buoyant Lace Web Seating for Maximum Comfort
This December 1954 advert shows the seating inside one of the first diesel multiple units built for British Railways - the Derby Lighweights built for the West Riding. The seats in the first class saloon would have blue coloured moquette. The image was supplied by Derby Works (negative 54/436). The Lace Web Spring company was nearby to Derby at Sandiacre, Nottingham. I believe the "Buoyant Lace Web" refers to their spring design inside the seats. The advert layout was used for a series of adverts with different vehicle types.
This advert appears in the following categories: Traction: Derby Lightweight ; Supplier: Lace Web Spring Company ; Component: Seats
