My early Standard is #834 and it has a gear cover. I have always prized it because it has a "Bacigalupi" decal in the front where "Edison" decals are found on later Standards. Does anyone know how late the smaller winding shafts were used on Standards? I bought an original slotted crank for my machine at Union last year (thanks Wild Bill) and I have a nice reproduction around here somewhere if anyone needs it. See you at Union! Jerry Blais
