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.
Regards, Lew Gage |
