4-Cross Shaft Assy 417-Casing Thrust Washer, 425-Thrust Washer, Outer, 426-Thrust Washer, Inner and 440-Steel Balls where not removed from 401-Cross Shaft. This assembly is the ball bearing for changing gears. 435-End Piece and 436-End Piece are different, but the drawing does not show which one is which, so the Part Numbers might have been commingled. Dimensions were difficult to add around
the drum brake, therefore I made a drawing of the cross section, by using the
program CadStd . Friction
material: He found on the Internet that the
friction drive was not just used for the Neracar; more companies supplied
friction drive vehicles in the early 1900s, namely Lambert and Cartercar, and it
is easy to see where Carl Neracher came up with the idea to modify the design to
fit into a motorcycle. http://www.american-automobiles.com/Gearless.html The Friction Wheel Assembly can be
refurbished at:
Pig leather has also been claimed to be a suitable material for the Neracar friction drive. TBD: There is some ambiguity about the orientation of the fork for the Bowden Cable for the Gear Assy.
