RE. REV. COUNTER - EAC.14. X.912 X.8170 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.
