A short clip from "British Pathe: Frankie Opens Exhibition" (1959) showing coin operated Sputnik and Galleon kiddie rides on Edwin Hall's stand at the 1959 Boys and Girls Exhibition at Olympia. At 0:02 you can see the packed stand with three Sputniks, two Muffin the Mules, a Big Wheel and Galleon visible through the crowds. Can you spot any others? We get a brief close up of the Galleon in action at 0:14 (with one of the Sputnik rides in the background). I am currently working on a website about coin operated rides, particularly those made (or at least commonly distributed) in the UK during the 1950s-90s.

I would be eternally grateful. Thank you! :)
