Has anyone taken apart one of those old starters for some of the radial
engines that were once popular? Inside them they have a 2 row 3 gear
planetary reduction unit run by the starter motor geared to the engine. I
had the chance to rebuild one yesterday, and was surprised to see this for
the first time.
Just wondering......any applications?
