gear boxes
Anyone remember the Atkinson with the 180 Gardner engine. Slow with lots of pulling power. when the gear box warmed up you could almost roll a fag between gears waiting for the revs to drop. No syncromesh in those days.
And the Albion clydesdale and chieftains. heavy clutch and that gear lever that came all the way from the gearbox,bent to fit over the engine cover. first few days on them and you had a painful left knee and shoulder...LOL
