Thanks for posting that. It appears as though there was not a clutch on
the overhead pulley. Meaning that spindle speed changes were done
"hot". I.e., with the belt running. The good old days.

When men were men! Fingers be damned!


That sounds a bit crazy these days, rather like the youtube videos of
people changing the fan belt on aÂ*VW Beetle while it's running.
