UltraPro 8800 ratchet

 "Captain" Archie Brown was partners with H R Godfrey at GN Cyclecars. When that venture failed in 1922 he went on building cars under his own name, continuing with the unique chain drive transmission.  That company also soon failed but the company continued until 1939 under the AFN Limited name, still using the same transmission. 

Artist name is hard to read but could be James Allington. Transmission detail drawing by Ira Epton.

They were in the large commercial tent and theatre hardware business for a period around the turn of the last century. AI insists that the name was a bit of a mystery to historians but Google Lens disagrees, it says it stands for Union Elevator & Machine Company.
