New for the 1941 season was a neat, built-on all-V-belt countershaft with an integral motor mount. The inclusion of a 6.5 : 1 ratio "backgear" meant that a total of 16 speeds were available of: 62, 130, 212, 440, 450, 870, 1400 and 2870 rpm. - a very useful range, especially the slow speeds which, being gear-driven, could transmit lots of torque and enabled remarkably heavy cuts to be taken.
