Here is a little nugget I gleaned off the Healy list recently. It might
be of interest to those with Laycock O/Ds on their cars.
If you look underneath the car at the O/D unit, you will see an ID plate
with a bunch of text on it (sort of like the commission plate on the
body). Part of this plate text is a number. For example mine is
25/115876 002757.
Apparently the number at the start of the sequence (25 in my case)
represents the percentage by which the engine speed is reduced by the
O/D. So for mine, when the O/D is engaged the engine RPMs decrease by
25% from the direct drive RPMs (in the same gear of course).
The last number sequence (002757 for mine) is the unit serial number. I
don't know what the middle number (115876) represents.
Just thought y'all might wanna know...
