Important Lesson Learned: I sorta knew this already but the eye opening experience is to discover that although the short input shaft is on the same plane as the main shaft ie they make one horizontal line, they are actually two separate spinning shafts independent of each other, don't laugh it's obvious to sum, but us idiot savants need time to digest, jk

I believe the 4th gear ie direct drive, so 1:1 ratio lives on the input shaft
Kinda wakes you right up when those needles drop out of the gear end of the input shaft and roll through the cracks between the floor planks into the root cellar under the barn...
Ohhh Crap!!! What the heck was that?
