Twin Cubs

Microvitec, not content with the Queen's Award for Technological Achievement, is chasing a Design Council Award. The famous Cub range is now available in an 'elegant, new moulded cabinet ... aimed at business and home users'.

By implication the inelegant, old metal-cased version is consigned to 'more rugged applications', for example with the sturdy Advance system.

In practice, the style you choose will probably depend on the colour of your machine rather than the use you are putting it to.
