I'm in the middle of refurbing a Sprint O/D gearbox for a club member and thought I'd share this with you...

Victorian engineering at it's finest!

I'm trying to imagine how that hexagonal hole was made, the whole thing looks like something knocked up with a minimum of tooling!

Socket welded in and ground flush - you can see a ring round the edge? It might not break - but it looks like it's in the process of rounding off.
