Pickering Sunday Quiz

Mr Whitwell's latest output I suspect.

Engine list here also suggests so, but gives no number, just classes it as a B5:

Not that I think it is, but could it be 7871?

I fancy that the third speed arrangement with the belled flywheel came later than any engine with a 78xx number , and that with that number it would be a B4 .

Do you think that the dynamo has been mounted sky high to keep the belt clear of the tank ?

Bob, as odd as it sounds.....

The majority of 7871 is not owned by the same owner who owns its cylinder, he is different to the man who owns its crank (or at least will be IF he pays the bill (alledgedly)), and its flywheel is owned by another man alltogether.

As you can imagine, when 7871 surfaces, if it can really still be called 7871?, it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

The other question I have is did the 3 speed crank and flywheel in this come from the same source as 7871's cylinder?

Hard going is engine butchery!.
