Hello,
For my Fowler R3 I am also looking for the drawing of the crankshaft and the second shaft with the gears and the special Fowler safety arrangement to ensure That only one gear at a time May Be engaged. The univercity of Reading has sent me drawing 61290 but this is the two-speed version. They could not tell me what the drawing number must be for the three gears version. I also hope someone can help me with a copy, a digital photo or scan of these drawings, Or the right "Fowler" drawing numbers so I can order the drawings at the university of reading. Incurred costs may be reimbursed. In advance thank you. regards Jan |

Fowler 3 spped gearing .
I have had chance to look through my Fowler collection .
One of the few Fowler build specifications for an 1916 A8 3 Speed Road Loco gives the relevant drawing numbers for : 3 Speed Interlocking Clutch Mechanism 57753 3 Speed Road Gearing 57420 I have checked my index of surviving Fowler drawings and it would appear that drawing 57753 does not now exist. Regarding 57420 , the title is given as `SHAPE OF GEAR TEETH ` - without seeing the actual drawing I don`t know how much more detail is shown . I have copies of the drawings for the 2 Speed A 5 Gearing and Clutch , but these will probably be not much help MARK |

Thank you for your efforts Mark.
I do not know exactly what the Interlocking Clutch Mechanism is, but I think I'm going to order both drawings at the university of Reading. I'm going to investigate this further. regards Jan |
