Hey BB,
No, I don't think that is correct. The Villiers (along with the factory reduction box) is as clockwise as Big Ben me thinks. Over the last 5 years I've acquired three 20" model Supercuts, all belt driven and set up exactly like the beautiful example posted by Shedpest. I've also got a smaller chain-driven (Supercut) machine with the engine the other way around, ......I'm guessing belt-drives were introduced after chain drives, which was probably to the benefit of many peoples fingers.
