Mastering Smooth Shifts: A Guide to Synchromesh Gearboxes, Gear Shifting, and Manual Transmissions
Introduction The synchromesh gearbox, a cornerstone of manual transmissions, has revolutionized gear changes for drivers. Unlike its predecessors, it eliminates the need for double-clutching – a technique used to synchronize engine and gear speeds for smoother engagement. This guide delves into the world of synchromesh gearboxes, exploring their inner workings, how they achieve smooth gear���

Back to the Future with Concrete and Clay for Wine Making
Back to the Future with Concrete and Clay for Wine Making #concreteEgg #amphora #winemaking #fermentation #bcwine @BlueGrouseWines @40KnotsWinery @SHWineShop @CedarCreekWine @Bellawines @bcwine
Okanagan Crush Pad concrete eggs (Credit Lionel Trudel) The history of using amphora and concrete tanks for winemaking dates back centuries. Amphorae, large clay vessels with narrow necks and handles, were widely used in ancient civilizations such as the Greeks and Romans for storing and transporting wine. These vessels provided an ideal environment for fermentation and aging, as the porous…

N.S.U Sport Prinz
The Sport Prinz utilises the rigidly braced platform chassis of the Prinz, to which is welded the all-steel body designed by Bertone, the Italian stylist, and built by N.S.U. The body is a two-door coupe of typical Italian design, resembling the Alfa-Romeo Giulietta coupes. The two trailing doors are large but entry is difficult because of the rake of the steering column and the intrusion of the wheel arches into the foot space. The pedals are considerably offset to the left and there is no room to rest the clutch foot. The steering wheel is also considerably angled so that the right-hand side is nearer the dashboard, causing the new driver some initial apprehension as to whether his left arm has begun to wither ! The Sport Prinz makes no bones about being a two-seater as the two bucket seats are large and comfortable with padded rolls, while the squabs are adjustable for rake. Behind the seats is a large shelf which could accommodate a good deal of luggage or two children if they did not object to the lack of padding. Additional luggage space is available under the bonnet, but with a 5.7-gallon petrol tank and a spare wheel already in occupation a medium-sized suitcase would strain the capacity.
Instrumentation is similar to that of the saloons, the sole instrument being the large Vdo speedometer, curiously marked with coloured segments denoting maximum speeds in the gears: These are placed at 12 m.p.h. for first gear, 25 m.p.h. for second, and 40 m.p.h. for third. Incorporated in the speedometer is a mileage indicator which is well illuminated at night (something appreciated by rally drivers and not often found in British cars); although no tenths recorder is fitted. The rest of the instrumentation is taken care of by five coloured lights, these indicating high beam, dynamo warning, oil pressure, fuel level and direction flashers. The lighting system is just about perfect, a switch on the facia being turned to left or right to bring on the off-side front and rear lamps for parking, depending on which side of the road one parks, while the same switch is pulled for side-lights and dipped headlamps. A stalk protruding from the right of the steering column switches the lights to main beam if it is lifted, while depressing the lever flashes the main beam even when the remainder of the lighting system is out of operation. Pulling the same lever in the horizontal plane sounds the effective horn. A similarly placed lever on the left of the column operates the non-self-cancelling direction indicators. The remainder of the switches include a rather small windscreen-wiper switch, a windscreen washers plunger and a socket for an inspection lamp.
The engine is started by twisting the ignition key, while use of the T-shaped choke lever, placed just in front of the gear-lever, is almost always necessary. The engine bursts into rather noisy life and idles unevenly but once under way the engine smooths out, although the noise is still very reminiscent of a two-stroke engine. The gearbox operates in the rather disconnected way of so many rear-engined cars, and the synchromesh tends to obstruct gear selection, especially in first gear. To obtain good downward gear changes it is advisable to double-declutch, a manoeuvre which is aided by reasonably sensibly placed pedals. With 36 b.h.p. to move just over 10 cwt. along, the acceleration is more than brisk and the Sport Prinz will certainly never get in the way of other traffic. Normal cruising speed is an indicated 60 m.p.h., while the needle will swing round to 80 m.p.h. on a slight downgrade, and a more fully run-in car would probably reach the claimed 85 m.p.h. top speed. Remember, this car has a capacity of 583 c.c. !

1926 Chandler Comrade Roadster - James Deneen
Although its cars were handsome, popular, and moderately priced, the Chandler Motor Car Company remained in business only 17 years. This 1926 Chandler "Comrade Roadster" had a six-cylinder, 55 hp Pike's Peak motor, with a three-louvered radiator, spare tire and wheel combination, and a special golf club door. It is the first model with synchromesh transmission. When restored by the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum, a complete set of tools was discovered in the car's kick panels. To make the restoration complete, Mrs. Fred Chandler, Jr. donated her husband's golf clubs, which now rest comfortably beneath the rumble seat.

No power steering, no power brakes, no disc brakes, no synchromesh gearbox, no seatbelts, no airbags, no crumple zones, a 40-foot / 12 metre turning circle...
The photos in this post aren't the same car as Crowley's 1933 3½ litre Bentley in "Good Omens", but they're Bentleys of the same vintage. All have the same basic layout, bought from the factory as a "rolling chassis"...
...then passed to a coachbuilder for whatever custom bodywork the new owner had ordered. These coachbuilders often rejoiced in wonderful names like Park Ward, Vanden Plas, Gurney Nutting, H.J. Mulliner or Thrupp & Maberley, sounding like escapees from a P. G. Wodehouse story.
Handbrake and gearstick are both on the right-hand side...
...so to avoid a poke in the knees it's often easier, depending on layout, to enter on the passenger side and slide across.
Once behind the wheel, you'll encounter all this gubbins attached to it.
The horn button is in the middle, but the other levers - depending on the chosen interior design layout - do stuff like operate the headlamps (full or dim), adjust the suspension (hard or soft), advance or retard the spark (more spark in cold weather, less in warm) and alter the fuel-air mixture (full rich when starting, lean when running).
*****
And then there's getting it started.
At least there's no need in these models to go round to the front with a hand-crank, though you could if you had to. That hand-crank option remained on cars right into the 1960s, as shown here at upper and lower ends of the market.
First, on a Rover P4 suitable for a bank manager or, as I suggested elsewhere, Adam's dad...
...and next on a Morris Minor, suitable for a bank clerk.
Crowley's Bentley (currently called Mary) has a hand-crank socket too - not that he would ever need to use such a thing - but in keeping with the car's superior status there's a neat chromed cap over it, and the actual engine connection is hidden behind the radiator slats.
(Mary's bodywork, incidentally, is by one of those splendidly named coachbuilders, Messers Thrupp & Maberley.)
Even without using a hand-crank, starting a 1930s Bentley (or any other car of the period) is still not a simple process. Turning that key between the toggles is just the first step since, IIRC, it only switches on the battery circuit.
Once the power is flowing, actual start-up routine can begin. I'll let Classic Car Club explain it:
Switch on the ignition by turning the right hand lever on the switchbox to I & C.
If starting from cold, set the mixture control, located around the horn button to Start.
Manually retard the ignition about one-quarter of its quadrant which is also located around the horn button.
Depress the starter and the engine comes to life.
Move the mixture control from Start to Run.
I prefer just turning a key.
Alternately you could just want the engine to be running as you get in - but to pull off that particular trick it helps to be a louche and lazy demon... ;->
Hey Neil,
Me and my best mate have a plan, we're going to move out and get a flat together, I'll help her with her auditions and learning lines, and she'll edit my writing. Part of our plan was that we'd save up for a motorbike, but after watching Good Omens she's decided she'd rather have a Bentley. I think we might be saving for a while....
According to people who have had to drive the Bentley, including Michael and David, you do not want to drive a vintage Bentley.

Welcome to no power steering (aka Armstrong Patent). Probably no power brakes either. And no synchromesh in the gear box, so you'd better learn how to double-clutch.
After S2 David Tennant and Michael Sheen discuss driving the Bentley :)
Michael: Series One David spent his whole time moaning about how hard it was to drive that Bentley.
David: And cursing. Cursing.
Michael: This series, I get to drive it.
David: Yes. How are you finding it?
Michael: Awful.
David: Yeah.
Michael: Absolutely awful. I understand everything you’ve-
David: It's terrible. It’s beautiful. It's a thing of great beauty, but you don't want to have to actually drive the blooming thing.
Michael: Just turning the wheel...
David: Yeah.
Michael: It's like The World's Strongest Man event.
David: Yes.

Porsche 962 CR Schuppan
The Schuppan-Porsche 962CR, a road-going version of the Porsche 962, was the brainchild of Porsche factory driver and 1983 Le Mans winner Vern Schuppan and Toshio Terada, Managing Director of Art Sports, the high-performance car import and marketing division of Art Corporation, Japan. The two had a shared ambition to create the ultimate supercar. Art Sports had the marketing vision and Vern Schuppan Limited (VSL) the capability in design, R & D and manufacturing. The 962CR was a wildly ambitious project, which swallowed millions of dollars of R & D costs before being cruelly struck down by the stock market crash of 1992. As a result, only four of a projected fifty 962 CR chassis were ever produced, and this car was the last produced by Schuppan's original company VSL. The 962CR featured high tech carbon composite bodywork and moulded monocoque and was fitted with 500hp-plus 962/71 3.2 litre, fully air-cooled twin-turbo engine with catalytic converters and silencers. Transmission is via a racing 962 type 5-speed synchromesh gearbox with limited-slip differential.
From the custom ‘Team Schuppan’ brake callipers to the CRT TV - which display a live feed from the reversing camera - to the leather-trimmed suspension arm gators and headlamp pod surrounds, the 962CR is packed to the brim with fascinating and well-considered detailing and high build quality. The Schuppan 962CR was truly designed to be a usable and luxurious road version of the car that Porsche designed to win Le Mans.
