It is 13:58 for a 15 min slot.
Regular broadcasters will know that this is about par for any broadcast to allow for continuity announcements.

It was (and is). It was purchased by Bob from Lyon & Hall. 92 Western Road, Brighton. (Just trying to prove that there is no more dedicated Copper Family anorak then me!)

If GUEST,Cjb is seeking more information on this particular broadcast, if he PM's me I will reply with John Copper's email address.

Bob said it was a C fork. The story of how they ended up with it was very funny when Bob told it.

There is the very quiet sound of the Copper's tuning fork at one point - probably an A I suppose. Haven't checked it yet.....

Nice programme

Note: The recording seems a little fast. It is 13:58 for a 15 min slot. If you want to lengthen the recording and adjust the pitch you can use something like Audacity. It will also lower the pitch so I guess with a tuning fork or good ear you can get the speed / pitch / length spot on.
