[DMCForum] Re: Angle Drive Cable (Martin)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That was a failed attempt at humor, written after a long and tiring
afternoon of my new life as an arborist. I may be mad, but even I
would buy a proper $50 angle drive from Houston before I moved
everything to the other side of the car (which of course wouldn't
resolve the direction of magnet rotation I know, but remember: it was
a failed attempt at humor).

Your Citroen probably takes off from the left wheel because an
overwhelming majority of the production went to the continent. Doesn't
make sense to produce a speedometer for the right wheel for British
consumption alone (a longer cable is much cheaper).

I can't figure out why DMC didn't take off from the transmission like
99.9% of the world does. It's a tried & true method, used for decades,
that rarely fails.

Of course carburetion also is a tried & true method, used for decades,
that rarely fails, so there's no accounting for taste.
