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

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.
