I was also most puzzled by what it recorded. Not merely a maximum of 40 mph, but an odometer only in double figures, plus tenths of a mile. Seems highly unlikely that any commercial vehicle would never expect to do more than a hundred miles on a day, let alone a week. A formal record of trip distance for a taxi or similar would require more visible figures. Maybe very slow local outings, on a railway mechanical horse perhaps, any forumists with access to a three wheeled Scammel? I know owners of a Crossley van in GWR livery and an Austin 10 van, so will make enquiries as to their instruments. Enough of the keyboard anorak, the workshop calls.
