Honda RC143

In contrast to the RC142, the aircooled, four-stroke, twin cylinder engine of the RC143 was canted forward by 35° to improve cooling and increase air-flow to the newly designed Keihin carburettors.

Hoxne

Accordingly, in Britain that entire period is called "Hoxnian", signifying its identification there, based on evidence from undisturbed layers of pollens from plants and trees found at Frere's site in the 1950s (notably by Richard Gilbert West), which established the cycle of warming and cooling by which the stages of the Great Interglacial are fixed.
