The same rear camshaft drive is to serve for the revolution counter as proposed. Print EX2 is from a pencil drawing & I am afraid not so clear as EX.1. I will immediately have it traced however for the purpose of securing a better print if it be desired. The air pump has been placed in what seems to be the only possible position i.e. just to the rear of the crankcase foot. Would you kindly criticise these schemes as it is proposed to adapt the pump & counter to one or two of our cars to customer's orders.
