Many thanks Peter and Mark. Have had a quick look and I reckon its a 1936 catalogue. My reasons are if you look at the tandem you could have either Reynolds HM or 531 so this makes it at least 1935 when 531 first came out. I think its 1936 not certain but I think the Trivelox came out then. One of those frame jigs is still in exitence Tom Board had it. Finally only one tourist bike listed? Haven't got time to check all the components in the catalogue to give a firm date but I should think 36 is very near. Be lucky Mick
