| To DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} x8090 [crossed out] x8000 x912 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG3.11.27 Herewith details of rev. counter as at present fitted on 10-EX. We have found this to be satisfactory but it would be much better if the drive could be shorter and not have to go all round the crankcase. What chance is there of a drive off the camshaft?
