What is your interpretation of a "speedo head" and where do you consider it is?.

It's apparent that whoever wrote the manuals considered the "Speedo head" to be the connection joint of the speedo system to the transmission,..

I think I have found why the Author of the manuals was misled as to the location of these gears. In the Ford Australia Carrier Parts Book, the Speedo driven and Drive gears are listed in the Speedometer section, where they belong NUMERICALLY, listed below the part number for the actual Instrument cluster, but PHYSICALLY they are located on the back of the gearbox. A Technical Writer who is not intimately familiar with the arrangement of the Carrier may assume from this placement in the parts list that these gears form a part of the Instrument cluster.
