British Bikes / Re: Smiths chronometric for a 1937 Norton International
« on: May 11, 2011, 02:20:52 PM »
Hello, I have recent sold my1936 model CS1 which had instrument Panel in tank. The wiring and speedo; judging by their very UNDISTURBED state were original, as confirmed by Norton's specification records as the previous response mentioned.
This was indeed a 120MPH Cronometric (no illumination) driven from the front wheel. It did not have a yellow marker but a white one at the 30MPH level but this may have bleached over the years. It was a two owner job that I bought back from Australia. Every other component was the original serial number as listed and shipped by Norton in Sep 1935 to Tozers in Brisbane (with the exception of the MagDyno which was from 1931). Teh speed did not work and when reguilt by Gaggs in Nottingham they confirmed its production period as 1935. I would summise it was the original Speedo.
Hope this helps...
