 I hear what you say. However I’ve always called starter clutches 

 ….Bendix. I’ve only ever heard of the gearbox end of operations called 

 a sprag clutch It is almost identical to the primary drive device on 

 my 1936 Velocette which eliminates the firing shock to the primary 

 drive chain from the piston.



 However and which ever I think we have now some common understanding >

Bob,

I think you are historically correct, Continental called them Bendix, 

Rover and Saab called them "free wheels" My old 1934 Rover had one.

NSA used them on their ill faited reduction drive but called them 

"linear cam" I think, probably to disassociate them from the reputation 

of the Continental starter Bendix.

The sprag clutches on our old motoor bikes where more like rotary sine 

waves. They didn't have the lumpiness of the Rotax gearbox.
