I thought it worthwhile to somehow piece together the drive train without the main body parts which houses the gearing.  To get them in some semblance of order and position, I made a wooden stand to support the various parts as they are to be found. For obvious reasons, some parts are now not indicated and these have been marked with an asterisk. I hope this will be of use.

Note: This gearing set up is restricted to Wood / Metal cutting bandsaws with Serial Nos. BK 3605 up to BU 8779 (roughly spanning late 1955 through 1957).
