Brilliant Colin!!!  That certainly answers a puzzling question.  The 
earliest tach reduction gear came off of one of the my earliest ( No. 
--513 ) Sprites and has the rolled metal band.  Ron and I thought that 
someone had at one time taken it apart to repair, and then held it back 
together with a rolled metal band.  We even thought that it we could see 
where a PO had "filled" the holes for the bolt and nut used to hold it 
together.  Fascinating!

Many thanks
