You can see the 1-of-n decoder in the London Transport museum
in Covent Gardern.  At least, you could last time I went there,
once again it was some years ago.  Anyone been there recently?

The actual decoder, BTW, is all done in massive brass, copper and
Bakelite.  It's a form of relay logic, I suppose.
