I think you tried to post a photo, but it doesn't show (just a blank box). 1936 was a year of change, from cast brass "Wadkin & Co." tags, to tinned brass plate "Wadkin & Co." tags, to tinned brass plate "Wadkin Ltd" tags. The cast brass tags will have "Leicester, England" on the second line.
Whereas 1927 tags will have cast brass tags - probably with just "Leicester" in the second line (although "Leicester, England" tags may have been coming on line by then).
I look forward to seeing the tag photo.

Sorry, I just did a copy & paste and on my pc the pics looked great, I didn't realize no one else could see them, that's a shame because I thought it was a quick way of getting big pic's posted.
So I will repost the pic's from my 2 earlier posts.
ME Drawing.jpg
First Rob's 1928 catalogue illustration, from this I see the pull down levers being smaller and sharing the same shaft from the main casting, which is not the case.
ME Tag position.jpg
This pic shows the Tag position for an ME and shows the pull down levers were longer and had separate shafts, so different from the illustration shown in the 1928 catalogue.

Drum Roll, there you go VannSo based on your earlier comments (Leicester on second line by itself) is this a 1927 ME?

I could see you first cut and paste pics.
The catalog is NOT 1928.

Nigel.
I just checked as I’m finally in the location of the catalog.
Sorry . It’s a 1924 catalog.

Hey Vann
That tag is off my EQ in Melbourne Australia.
Also, I'll have a few more tags for you shortly.
Cheers

Hi Andy,
It's the Test Number we need to date your ME, Wadkin used a pre printed book of numbers and the number from the page where they Tested the machine was recorded on the TAG
Here's an example of my 1954 EX
