What's with the brass/bronze, non-hypoid, non-helical, curve-toothed
gear thingy, Unca (Aunt?) Winnie?

That's _Honorary Aunt_ to you, buster.

The worm wheel? I haven't the foggiest.

Hey Bill, can you remind us what the worm wheel does for a living?

Thank you kindly.

There are two brass pieces in the gear box - at the top is a brass gear that
is driven by a worm gear (that goes into the rear housing) - the worm is
driven by a 2 hp motor, in my case via a flat belt.

The other brass (bronze?) piece is the sifter fork, that moves two gears up
and down based on the rotating of the gear sleector lever. Thsi is a 12
speed gearbox, as I recall.
