Hi Nick
They were referred to as bandas as the trade mark of the manufacturer Block and Anderson was BandA.

Everybody remembers the purple transfer sheets, but the big advantage of the spirit duplicator was that you could also get red and other colour sheets, and at the time it was the only machine that would let you duplicate financial documents which included 'red' figures. The copy quality was rubbish though, after the first few copies.
The fluid came in gallon cans, and was either Methanol or Ethanol, - I cant remember which.
I dont think H & S would stand for that today!

Kind regards
Dave
