    Obviously, “A New Way to Skin a Cat” is still alive and well..

    Walters Machine Company did something like this for decades to make their V-drive output shaft operate at 10-20 degrees in relation to the input shaft.. It’s worked for them and kinda put them on the map for many years.. Innovative in the 60’s & 70’s for sure..

    Today–More like “adaptive engineering vs. “new engineering & designs”….. But, I do that too most of the time..

    But I am scratching my head on this one., especially of the ACV starting. Maybe this was delveloped for a school tech class?
