That does look like a fairly deep cage to reach what looks like a 36 tooth
ring. The one I'm getting looks shorter.

Something else I've noticed on these Simplex changers is that there is a
small ring stop screw that appears to stop against the downtube and the
lever has a small piece of rod welded to it at right angles acting as a
stop for the big ring position, also stopping against the downtube. I can't
see the latter on the one I'm getting, so I wonder if it's broken off or
just an earlier model that didn't have this.
