Do you use a normal belt drive to the clutch with a Norton gearbox?

There are a few ways of doing it.
Our bike has a belt drive to a Hemmings clutch and Norton box, some bikes use the Imp clutch and a belt drive to the box, but most of the more original bikes use an Imp clutch and a Pearson drive (a separate primary chain case with a triplex chain).

There are photos of bikes with the first and third types of drives on our website.

Very interesting, I was wondering how you got the rear drive chain alignment.
