Rev-Counter on Car 3-B-IV.

The drive between engine and dynamo on the above car has been altered, resulting in the dynamo now running at 1 1/4 times engine speed, and the rev-counter indications being all wrong.

As a simple remedy, we propose fitting a new rev-counter which has been adjusted to correct this error.

We should be pleased if you will have this instrument fitted to the above car.
