Easy to solve: It was a Philips machine which needed the clock to be set
and running before it would record. It was turned off every night and sat

recordings, rather than leave it on at night. His wife was convinced it
would catch fire if left on and unattended.

Wasn't there concern within the BBC in the 1950s, that the all night long election results programme might cause the transmitters to overheat and catch fire ?
