The scan put certain artifacts into the page, mostly misspellings.  Here
is the document with the spellings corrected, I did not know what a "5
speed spur Rear transmission" is, so I just left that.  I know I was not
asked to do this, but I did it anyway, hoping to help.

I used Microsoft Office Word 2003, SP3, if that makes any difference.

It was supposed to be  spur gear transmission.
