No, not that kind of gear box! This is a gear reduction drive for the
back of the generator to drive the tach on my Bugeye. I won an eBay
auction for a few dollars more than a M*** reproduction from India for
an NOS gear reduction drive! It came in a Smiths green box in oil
paper. The box is dated 1 July 1971 on the bottom. Just as an
interesting side note, I took the thing apart to pack it with grease and
found a sticky rubber like sealant on the mating case surfaces. I guess
you are just supposed to remove the lubricating screw and shoot some
lube in through a syringe type injector. The sealant keeps the lube
inside. I will have to find something to seal the case halves together
again. BTW, the greae that was inside was in surpisingly good condition
for being 32 years old.
