Leicester Museums / Beehive, Leicester
Part of the cash ball system from the Beehive, Leicester reinstalled first at the Museum of Costume and now at the Newarke Houses Museum. In the reconstruction the upper and lower tracks have been installed parallel, rather than sloping in opposite directions, and the trigger-controlled switch has been put on the upper (sending) track rather than the return track.
