<<4.55:1   9/41  'A'&'B' competition 
4.87:1   8/39  'Twinkie' competition
5.12:1   8/41  'Twinkie' competition>>

The 4.55 was also stock on many Austins (eg A60) and ZB Magnette
The 4.88 (as it is usually referred to) was stock on the A55 and ZA Magnette,
I believe.
The 5.12 was available on Morris Wagon. I have used it in my TVR, with OD, and
it does indeed make a good hill climb set, but it isn't much use for road
racing, as it takes the 2nd gear in the CR set too low to be useful for most
corners. If you use it with a non-CR set, 2nd becomes a starting gear!.
