S.S. and India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) LV Speedometers.

In view of the fact that S.S.owners may fit 20" rims with the smaller tyres to their cars, and 20 HP.owners 19" rims.

We recommend that the S.S.speedometer standard should be 775 cable revs. per mile and the 20 HP sanke revs 720 cable revs. per mile. This will ensure that the speedometers do not read slow under any conditions.
