Sidgreaves - MD}6/E7.3.35 With reference to the question of larger trip and distance mileage figures on our speedometers, I was interested to note that the little 10 HP Ford is provided with these and with an English-made instrument. It seems curious that they have been able to do what seems to be taking us so many, many months! Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
