Norton, being a relatively small manufacturer farmed out a fair bit
of their parts, besides procurement of the obvious ancilliary parts.
Unfortunately nobody has taken the trouble to actually record what
they made and what they farmed out.
Following list is to be regarded with much reserve as I have not
been able to find conclusive proof for some of the statements.
If anybody can shed more light it would be most useful to let it be
known.
