My Sheldon ( 50 yards from me in the shop) is an 11x44 - in that series.
The machine is great. Mine purchased in 1952 and kept in the family - in
fact I was present when it became a member :-)

I don't know of any fiber gears on my machine. Perhaps some replacements
were made in fiber at one time ?

The quick change box next to the head is really nice. Not to have to change
gears for a different feed rate or thread is wonderful.
