Sounds like you have a Clavis tension gauge - this link might help. http://lotus.roadfly.com/turboesprit/20 ... 01116.html

Measure the timing belt frequency using the Clavis gauge between the auxiliary shaft and inlet cam pulleys (NOT on any other belt run). When tapped with a suitable instrument (e.g. screwdriver) the meter should read: Specification = 100 to 110 Hz
