I think the "block off consisted in removing the two pins that would allow a direct connection between the drive pulley and the feed screw.

Can anyone tell me if the 2-minute gears are there, and can be put in service without damaging anything through modification? If the gears aren't there, can it be set up to work in 2-minute mode if the 2-minute gearing is found? Finally, if this can be done, will the 2-minute gearing from the Model D make it work, or possibly anything borrowed from an Edison retrofit combination gear set? Thanks in advance for any insight on this.
