Hi, Does anyone know what this is?
It looks like a counter driveshaft similar to the 'wade' one but I don't know.
It's mounted on a wooden base and has a well made lid to fit.
The central part seems to be some sort of epicyclic drive which has the out put rotating in the opposite direction to the input, although the only part of the whole thing that turn in the opposite direction is the 1" of output shaft,which then enters one of the red blocks where it reverts to the same direction as the input.
the two red blocks have spring loaded levers on them which are operated by the sliding long bar at the rear, I've yet to find out what they do as nothing changes when they are operated. they do have adjustment screws on them so perhaps they are out of adjustment.
Any ideas as to what it is are welcome but if someone knows for sure what it is that would be great.
thanks for any input
