Excellent stuff! I've been nosing around the geometry of Howe and Williams valve gear, just snooping you understand, but looking at the elegent symmetry of your final answer, the gravity hold reversing lever, I can only say your whole series of films leading to this triumphant conclusion has brought me a grin of satisfaction on a par with Fred Dibnah's best. Bravo.
@togaida This is my own computer design - not available commercially, it would take me several months to prepare drawings for sale. If this happens, I will offer them on Ebay. Sorry.
Well Done ! Enjoyed your videos. excellent reverse mechanism.

Amazing! I hope I'm that good at machining one day! I've never seen that sort of reversing mechanism either.
