16. AEG Multiprinter
10th October 2004

The Multiprinter - a machine that issued Edmondson style tickets but printed all the ticket details at the time of puchase, doing away for the need for vast stocks of preprinted cards. Usage on BR started in the 1960s and lasted until the mid 1980s. Multiprinter tickets can be distinguished from Flexiprinters because they have the fare printed on the left hand side when viewed vertically and usually have a four figure serial number.
