Abstract

The proper drive establishing force is indicated by the relative position of the end (91) of a control link (36) and the end (92) of a spring coil (49) of a coil spring (47) by which resilient clutch engaging force is transmitted to a transmission clutching mechanism (65,66) by a hand lever (26).
