The gear end is a thing of beauty.

Wonder how that works with different size intermediate gears on the outer cylinder banks versus the central bank? Looks 1:1 to the sides but 1:2 to the middle.

Think of it in terms of number of teeth per second. The size of the idler gears is irrelevant. The extra gear makes the cams on the central bank rotate in the same direction as the outer banks.

It sold for $4,455,000 in 2004, then it was restored, then it won PB ........
if any car could be truly priceless, it would be this one.
Can you imagine what it would be worth if Steve McQueen owned it at one time?

And the same idler gear principle applied in the sidewinder layout of this slot car chassis (designed to move the weight of the motor forward for better balance)... however, it was kind of hard for some guys to wrap their head around it, as I remember. We were very young and wet behind the ears in those days.
