EAC. 7. GEARBOX. X8310
We send you herewith change lever and gate mechanism for the above chassis, - (LeC.2109.)
The scheme generally is similar to India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) but the reverse pawl and catch have been made neater by the elimination of the cylindrical extension on side of pawl, as used in the India(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) chassis, and the replacement of it by a pawl coming in contact with a pro-jection cast under the gate between the 1st. and reverse slots.
