Don't know about the 4302/00 gear drive, but I have two NOS drives. One
is still in the green and black Smiths box dated1 July 1971 and both
drives have the 4302/50 designation on them. BTW - they also have the
later hex fitting that screws onto the generator. The original Bugeye
fitting had longitudinal ribs and was round.
