The funnel is black with a broad yellow band. Two pennants form the house flag: the upper is horizontally blue over yellow; the lower is vertically yellow at the hoist and blue at the fly. Sources differ over the lower division. Griffin and Flags of the World show equal halves, Reed gives yellow the greater area, and Rosanoski favours the Lloyds and Journal of Commerce form with yellow about one-third and blue two-thirds. The Duke of Devonshire print appears closer to 40:60. A website’s plain black funnel is rejected by Rosanoski because the contemporary sources agree on the banded form.
