A further serrated piece is introduced between the pulley and the sunken ring which retains the segments of the said ring and provides a circular face for the pulley to tighten up on. A differential locking device is incorporated for making the whole secure. Would you kindly incorporate this design in the main scheme. Further schemes giving particulars of the reverse pinion and of the front and rear covers of the box are almost ready and will be sent shortly after Christmas. We shall also return the main scheme of the gear box giving the final information required for completing the whole job.
