The gearbox in pic 6 of June OBM’s Feedback is probably off a Wrigley Industrial three-wheel truck, as I have one with a Burman gearbox.
Some could have Albion gearboxes. They were made by Wessex Industries, Poole, Dorset. I also have a pyramid three-wheel truck made by the Excelsior Motor Co. This has an Albion three-speed, no reverse. The same gearbox was used on many prewar lightweight motorcycles. When Eric Walker of Excelsior died in the late 1950s, his sons tried to diversify by building three-wheel industrial trucks.
