Note the ancient tachograph in the second picture Paul …my dad had an identical one in his 1951 Maudsley (AEC mark 3 really) used to be piece of grease paper placed behind a moving stem which recorded the movement of the lorry. The thing used to come open and clout me on the head !!

I never had any dealings with them Wayne, but am assured you could fiddle them

I would ave thought a man of your experience would know the fiddle with those recorders Coomsey . Back up tight to your oppo and leave the engine on fast tickover , it then recorded movement . I’m not that old either but like most of us oldies I rode shotgun with my dad in the holidays .

A man of my standing in the community on the fiddle ? Never!! :open_mouth:
