A parts list for the Sturmey Archer Countershaft Gearbox covering the lightweight and heavyweight L.S. 3 speed type gearboxes. Sturmey Archer Gears from Nottingham, England, were a major supplier to the motorcycle industry for gearboxes in the 1920s, starting off much earlier providing geared rear wheel hubs.
There are well detailed sectional drawings for the chain-cum-belt, and the all chain drive used with the 300cc to 1000cc engine combinations. The lightweight gearbox is a 2 bolt top mount, the heavyweight is a 4 bolt top mount.
Clutches range from the single, 2 and 3 plate units, as well as the 2 and 3 plate shock absorber clutches, and the heavier 4 plate clutch for the 1000cc high efficiency engines of the Super Sport variety.
Also listed is the various selection of gearchange levers available.
