Re: Interesting off the shelf transmission

The whole one way business got the old noodle working...

Say you have two things that don't need to run at the same time, and each only needs to run in one direction. I'm thinking a ball gathering brush and a ball shooting brush. By linking two sturmeys to one motor, forward runs the first brush and backward runs the second, all with one precious motor.

Of course there are easier ways to skin that particular cat, though they might not be OTS with a #35 sprocket.

I am having trouble seeing the benefit of shift-on-the-fly in this case, but ease of adjustment is killer. Every year we find that we are pulling 21 amps somewhere -- click it down 25% and no more breaker pops, without rebuilding a complicated drive train.
