Jerry, you turn the handle above the chainset one way or the other and
that moves the "clappers" on the chainstay. You do this while back
pedaling. When I first mounted the mechanism I did not know about the
need to back pedal and called Mike Barry for advice. He set me
straight...or backwards as it was. It works....but not well. I would
say another Rube Goldberg shifter when other, much more effective,
French mechs were already available.

These are absolutely diabolical-looking shifters. How does the linkage
manage to actually move the chain sideways?
Always loved the Umberto Dei tricolore color scheme. I wonder if these inspired the much more recent Gianni Motta paint schemes?
