An early, decorative terminal.

Discharge tube of the terminal from the former Arbery & Son shop, Wantage, Oxfordshire. This is a pedal-operated system with a single tube but the shape and decoration are similar to the drawing. Other photographs

A down-discharge Lamson terminal with receiving basket from Browns of Workington, Cumbria now in the Cumberland Toy Museum in Cockermouth. The tube had to be widened on tight curves to allow the straight carrier to pass through.

A Pneu-Art terminal in Shaws, Portlaoise, probably dating from the 1960s or 70s. It consists of a metal box with a glazed air-tight door. Westwood and Westwood point out that such terminals raise the cost of an installation over the cost of "ordinary terminals", but post-war installations generally seem to have used this type.

A well-concealed Pneu-Art terminal recessed into the wall. Note the characteristic pigeon-holes for holding carriers on the left. There are more photos of Pneu-Art stations on the Arding & Hobbs page.
