The white arrow is pointing to a spring whose purpose seems questionable. If you look closely at the timing gear cover casting you can judge the location of the camshaft; the actuation of the rocker is in or down below the "box" that the lower end of the rocker is seen entering. Dual camshafts like a "T" head, the one for the intakes on one side of the block, that for exhausts on the other. Uncertain of the means by which the rocker follows the camshaft profile.

A really neat little engine, its advertised horsepower was 25.
