OBSERVATION :

An illustration shows such a gear in the MITCHELL 408 sky-blue chapter of the James Partridge's Guide (p.134). But this very same picture illustrate the gears of the Garcia Mitchell 408 sky-blue in the same book (p.131). This information is thus questionable.

The use of this gear in a Mitchell 408 sky-blue version seems to be rather anachronistic.
