This is to be the easy change type, and consists of the design which ran on 18-G-IV, with the sole exception of the reverse gear which is to be the later scheme including the fixed shaft with bushed gears running loose on same, the shaft having all lubricating holes in the lower half as explained by myself this afternoon. The constant mesh gears of both types will be 14 D.P's to the original width, but having a ground finish, the grinding to be done on the Maag machine. 9. PROPELLER SHAFT.
