According to the book "British Performance 2-strokes" at the time of the O'Rouke Arrow, Peter Inchley and Sammy Miller were working in the competition department at Ariel's and had already done some "playing " with the Arrow engine. Hermann Meier was introduced to Ken Whistance ,the managing director of Ariel by Harold Daniell and was able to obtain unmachined barrels etc from Ariel. After the 7th place in the TT, Ken Whistance wanted to take Herman Meier on,but "The big boss" Edward Turner, decided that "The 2-stoke engine has no future"!!!!!!and the project was not allowed to go any further. Typical British engineering decision!!!
