THANK YOU for not shooting me... I DO want to live... ;-)

SO, I believe you said JVN got it correct in what can actually be seen... "a dual wheel rocker where each wheel is a different speed with an automatic shifter mechanism"

Since I'm a pretend engineer please be gentle with me... it appears that part of the 2/3 missing is the mechanical actuator that causes the automatic shifting... like a vertical pneumatic cylinder that causes a pivot/change between the wheels, right?

IF NOT the case, I'm going to fire-up the TiVo and lose myself in THE WALKING DEAD and come back to this tomorrow...
