Dads Armstrong Siddley was four cylinder OHV with a three speed crash box. Most of it's life second gear was stripped, first went from about 0 to 10MPH,top was about 5 to 60MPH. The gearbox was mounted on the tailshaft with a primitve short shaft from the flywheel to the gearbox, a bulb at each end of the shaft and three balls which regulary fell apart. It reallly was a mechanical boggle. They were such a terrble vehicle I doubt any survive today.
