Mitzi and I conferred and you have one of the rare made for South of the equator Maxi-Car hubs. These were only manufactured from Wednesday the 13th of July, 1962 to Monday morning around 7:35 A.M. in the shed out back. It was threaded that way to take advantage to the Coriolis Effect on power transmission. I think these were only available in Africa and South America since Aust. and N.Z. are "down-under", thus upside down cancelling the effect of the reverse thread. Last I heard the last shipment was sent the the Falkland Islands with the last set of British troops. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman" and Mitzi "elfie" Ives Santa Barbara, Calif. --
