Kent, the Olivers seem to have tried to take the KISS
system (Keep It Stupidly Simple, or anyother variation
you wish to insert) to the extreme!  "Let's not
complicate the poor farmer's mind with two levers when
we can make one work!"  Yes Jerome, there can be High
and Low and the associated other eight gears all on
one stick!  The museum has two Olivers and I always
have to play a while each time I go to use one to
figure it out.  It's really not a bad system at all,
just a little different.  And after all that, no, I
can't just rattle off the pattern for you.  Sorry,

Dave Myers
