So according to Randall Thomas' research the speedo was designed to accommodate an anticlock speedometer cable and according to Soulman it just happened to work that way so Smith stuck with it because it was cheaper than using a reversing gearbox behind each speedo gauge. Which just brings up more questions than ever.

Do all Smith speedos run counter clockwise?

Why did the Cobra transmissions have a different cable rotation than the mainstream cars?

Is this unique to Cobras or are there other cars with reverse speedos?

My Classic Roadster has a Stewart Warner counter clockwise speedo so it must be catching on. Seems like we all go to extra trouble to either have one or not have one.
