More parts by Atlas...

Manufactured another part on the old Atlas lathe tonight.  The end cap for my speedometer drive was lost somewhere along Route 66 between Tulsa and Albuquerque thirty years or more ago.  Tried sourcing it from standard vendors, but they only had the whole speedometer drive ($$$!)
I found a cross-section drawing of the drive in the Indian Parts List, and made it from that.
 The cap is an interference fit with the drive case.  I made it .004" larger.  Seemed to fit just right.
