This condition is well-known on the eastern side of the pond and in Standard-Triumph parlance of the day comes into the category of "an i'erent (inherent) fault" I've encountered this condition on many later Spitfires, including one that was under my care for some 18 months. A firm knock on the instrument glass is all that's required to make it work. One surely doesn't expect the rev counter to work well for ever, does one?
