We have mentioned this to E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} , and he is bearing the matter in mind when dealing with the wheelcase of the engine. It would appear however that we shall have to content ourselves with a drive from the end of the dynamo shaft.
We believe the camshaft end is hidden by the slipper flywheel.
