Talk:Preselector gearbox

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Invented in 1928?

A succession of edits have resulted in the first paragraph saying: "It was originally invented... in 1928... and was first used in World War I tanks."

Does anyone know the correct dates? Perhaps Wilson used them in World War I tanks and then patented the gearbox in 1928. But this is just a guess as I'm not familiar with these details. Can anyone help? Adrian Robson 11:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

  • It might not be ENTIRELY accurate, but by rearranging the sentence a bit, it now describes a chronology that's at least POSSIBLE, if not terribly probable. Somebody really needs to look up what ACTUALLY happened. JDS2005 05:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
