Some clever ones here but your missing something.

Yes, Mince pies would have been home made. Mr Kipling was still filling a nappy.
Test card is OK. Test card 'C' introduced in 1948.
Nick, It is an Ekco..VERY reliable. [Three link chassis]
The 16" model was the TC178. 16" metal cone tube. My TC196 has the same chassis but with a 15" circular tube. Released early 1953.

Good efforts! John.
