Speedometer Gearbox Drive - Direction of Rotation

[Alan]

In my youth and before we had cars of our own, a friend had use of his father’s car to travel to school. The understanding being he went that far and no further. The car, a Morris minor had a broken mileometer. We travelled all over Northumberland at lunch times and during free periods in that car. Eventually the car was replaced with an Austin 1100. The milometer worked. The first day I remember driving backwards around a car park for two hours to clock off the miles done during the day. I don’t remember if we got away with it.
