Well you could start by looking at the History and Info heading on the home page here. That lists some of the old time gearbox manufacturers. I have some old literature from the gearbox manufacturers.

What specific info are you looking for - types of gear arrangements i.e., planetary vs. straight reduction, helical vs. spur gears, enclosed vs. open, ratios, etc.??????

Richard are you aware that the Carlyle-Johnson company is still in business? They make industrial clutches and brakes.

This is from an april 1929 article in Motor Boat
Magazine.
"JOES GEARS and WHAT"S BEHIND 'EM!
The New Haven firm of Snow and Petrelli, makers of
JOES FAMOUS GEARS,was organized in 1906 with Levi
Snow and Joseph Petrelli. In 1916 petrelli withdrew from the Co. and Arthur Nabstedt came on board. By 1929 they made Joes Gears, Little Joes Gears,Joes duplex Drive Gear,Joes 200 Series Gear,
Joes Husky Gear.

Thanks Richard that really clarifys the matter. Palmer Bros. used Snow and Petrelli, Snow and Nabstedt and I think Joes Navy Gear on the YT-1 as well as their own reverse gear in later production.

I have a Star Marine aluminum case with Capitol reverse gear installed on a 1949 Ford Flathead V8. This transmission is rated at 150+/- HP. I purchased this unit new in 1955 and have lost the owners installation/ field adjustment manual. Does anyone out there have one of these manuals. I can send pictures of the internals and exterior.

I have a reverse gear with Auto Engine Works Model # EF 200 stamped on the top cover. "The Capital" is also stamped on the top. It is installed in a 1953 Chris Craft kit boat built by my uncle. When he passed away he left it for me and I'm about halfway finished restoring it. The engine is a 239 Ford Y-block. I'm trying to find out what kind of oil goes in the reverse gear. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In a pinch, I'd use 40 SAE motor oil.
It should be too much heavier than that .

I think Standard gear company what bought out by another Detroit company, just not sure who it was? maybe Detroit Engine Works? Doing research now.

Maybe Scott Peters knows the answer to this one. Anyone else?

Johnny, I looked for a file photo of the tag but don't have one. I believe it says Standard on it ? Standard, Gray, and Detroits sure look to be the same design, different location of shifters and inspection plates but I believe they are all of same design, in 1913 Gray catalog they have photo of the Detroit gear and say they developed the trans, I have other info that Gies actually designed the gear for Gray and Gray had a Detroit gear mfgr make them.
Am away for several days when i get back remind me and I'll dig into the facts a little better !

OSCO Motors early on sold their own marine transmission gear when they were still located in Philadelphia.
My uncle had a Ford Flathead six with the name OSCO cast in script on the transmission marine gear case lid.
I don't know if this was a Paragon marine gear with a private label name cast into it's cover or not ?
It was similar design to the Paragon~~but not quite the same ?

Early On Chris~Craft built their own custom marine gearboxes also~~~ but only for their very big displacment limited production race engines.
I have one on my early 1930s Chris~Craft A120 "A" racing engine .

My GM 671 in my ship is equipped with a reverse gear under patent 1571210 (1926, you can google it), probably made by The Capitol/Auto Engine Works. I have no further info on it. If anyone could help me out, I am much obliged.

Richard Durgee, Here is some more info you can add to your library. Found this in a April 1913 Motor Boating Mag page 10. As I said in my previous post on this thread I thought another company had bought out Detroit Standard Gear Co. I just was not sure who. It appears that it was DEW & Detroit Gear Co. that purchased DSGC. I'm still not sure of the relationship between DGC & DEW but hope to figure it out also. If DEW did not own DGC then they must have had some kind of partnership because DEW tagged their reverse gear boxes with brass tags that stated they were the manufacture. Photo's below of a DEW Detroit reverse gear and a Detroit Standard Gear Co. reverse gear.

The Reverse gears above are owned by Gene Fisher & Richard Alcock. Thanks for letting me use your photo's.

Sense posting the above article from Motor Boating magazine I have discovered that this article may have an Error in it. Scott Peters & I have not been able to find any evidence that Detroit Gear Co. were successors to the Standard Gear Co. Matter of fact we have found it to be just the opposite. It appears that Standard Gear Co. may have been the successors to Detroit Gear Co. Research still in progress.

I was away and missed the post of Dec 6.

From memory it seems that DEW was out of business
by about 1921 ??? Standard Gear advertised I believe after that ? I'll see what I can find !

Correct, I think it was around 1920 or 1921 when DEW went out of bussness. I have adverts showing DEW selling these reverse gears as early as 1908 and stating they manufactured them. Scott Peters info shows that Standard Gear Co. formed in 1912. Seems a little weird that a company that would have only been about a year old would have bought out another company that had already been in business for four or five years at least.

I agree Richard, Scott Peters ask me about the Gies Co. and if I thought they could be involved with Detroit gear & Standard gear. Looks like they probably were. according to your literature Gies may have been the one with the brains.

Hi,
Looks like Gies Brothers personally supervised the construction of the DEW Detroit Gears in 1909, per American Exporter, January 1909, p. 133--hope this helps you out, Johnny.

Hi folks,
I think this might be a rough working chronology for the companies that Frank G. Gies was involved in, still subject to further research and evaluation:
Frank G. Gies & Co. (1905-1906)
Gies Gear Company (1906-?)
Gies Brothers (late 1907-?. Gies and his brother Clarence left Gies Gear Co. by the end of 1907. Built the Baldridge gear under this name.)
Detroit Engine Works, Detroit Gear[division?](1907-1909?)
Gies-Hoyt Manufacturing Company (Inc. March 6, 1909)
Standard Gear Company (Inc. 1909?)
Standard Gear Supply Company (ad source dated 1912 by Richard Durgee)

Detroit Standard Gear Company (Inc. late Sept. or early October 1912. Emerged out of Standard Gear Co., but the Gies brothers do not appear to have been involved, so it forms a different relationship line.)
Still trying to figure it all out. Frank Gies assigned two of his patents to Gies Gear Company, but they were not awarded until after he left the firm.

It gets worse...Two "Standard Gear Company" firms, same city, but a decade apart:
Standard Gear Company [II]
Attention is called in this issue to the announcement of the Standard Gear Company, of Detroit, Mich. This company was recently reorganized with D. A. Mead as general manager and W. R. Mead chief engineer, who purchased the entire interests of the Langtry Machine & Tool Company, formerly manufacturers of the gear.
W. R. Mead is a man of wide practical experience in gear design and manufacture. He designed the original gear used in the Cadillac motor and was with the Cadillac company for many years, later becoming chief enquirer [sic�engineer?] in charge of gear design for the General Motors Company. He has joined with his brother in the Standard Gear enterprise and his valuable experience is already reflected in refinements in the design and construction of the Standard gear, long known to the motor boat trade.
Some important announcements will be made by the company in regard to their plans before long. The new company is also making an aggressive sales effort, the entire sales being in charge of D. A. Mead, a business man well-known in Detroit.
The Standard Gear Company is desirous of entering into distributing agency arrangements in the principal coast marine centers.
Pacific Motor Boat, Vol. 12, May 1920. P. 34.

Amazing what you discover when you start researching. I seen some adverts on Google Books for Detroit Standard Gear Co. dated 1920 I believe. I'm fairly sure DEW was still selling their gears up to at least 1910 because I have an original literature advertising their gear and it is dated Feb 8, 1910. Also states that they sold more reverse gears in 1908 & 1909 then any other Co.

Interesting that the 1909 clipping states, "the Gies Brothers were formerly manufacturers of the Baldridge reverse gear, which is well known to the general public." So either they built it under license or they were the only makers of the Baldridge? Curious because I have a couple of Baldridge gears which look a lot like the Detroit shown above

There was an arrangement between Gies Brothers and Smith and Baldridge Machine Co., also of Detroit, regarding the Baldridge Gear:
...The Smith & Baldridge Machine Company, of Detroit, Mich., advise us that the company has succeeded in getting entire and exclusive control of the Baldridge reverse gear, formerly advertised in these pages by Gies Bros., and sold by them exclusively. Some trouble was experienced recently when Smith & Baldridge commenced a campaign of advertising the sales of these gears. An injunction, prohibiting them from selling or manufacturing these gears under the name of �Baldridge� was served, and greatly hampered the preparations to increase the volume of sales. Smith & Baldridge and Gies Bros. have succeeded in coming to a mutually agreeable settlement, whereby Smith & Baldridge are to pay the latter concern a stipulated cash sum for any and all interest, past and future, that they might have in the sale of these popular gears.
S & B now have the large factory running to ts fullest capacity, and have already done much to improve their gear, both as to materials and high class workmanship. Special prices are being quoted on these gears for Fall buyers. Prices will be gladly sent on request to Motor Boat readers.
Motor Boat, Vol. V, No. 16, August 25, 1908. P. 49.
Not sure how Gies Brothers got the rights for building the Baldridge gear in the first place, but this is yet another piece in the puzzle.

Scott, Your input here is always appreciated, in this case a lot of answers to some old questions have been addressed !

Smith & Baldridge was a marine engine manufacturer

1907

s7m07


January of 1908 there is no mention of reverse gears.


s7mj08


Six months later 1908 this ad article shows up with photo of a GIES Reverse Gear ?

s7mgear



Baldwin I believe gets the credit for enclosing
the gear assembly ??

The Marine Reverse Gear business was a large industry, this 1912 index of mfgrs is interesting.

These gears usually use a band for reverse, clutches for forward.If there is any friction material left on the clutches you may be able to adjust them.There is usually an adjustment to make up for wear.Open the box and move the lever to forward-neutral, watch what's happening. There should be a way to make the lever push the clutches harder.

My great uncle Rudolph Pinder submitted his reversible marine clutch invention working model to Henry Ford in 1922. The story goes, he was turned down but years later his engineer friends in the Midwest told him his concept was used in another transmission designed by a former Ford employee. I�ve been in possession of the patent, the letters to Mr. Ford, and the only working model in existence, (For Sale) .
