Sorry I’d had a few the night I tersely responded to your witty assertion that I may be mentally impaired, - which itself was a rather sad response to rely on a simple insult when you could not rebut the post.
But I do apologise for calling you a Turkey.
I imagine it was just that you were embarrassed because the suggestion was a good one and your ego would, in Trumpian fashion, go into denial and attack. Well done.
I do not know anything much about sidecars, if indeed this is what the intended purpose is, but I think anyone on this thread is capable of grasping the simple engineering concepts of chaindrive in an industrial or automotive setting.
But of course the use of scotch keying on sprockets is not my idea, this was passed onto me by my respected Darbi agent back in the day when I was trying to make an over engineered solution for cheap robust range of gearing choices.
British bike owners have apparently been doing this for decades when the thoughtful manufacturers combined the hub and sprocket. Before my time, but a prick of a problem.
The concept in engineering practice as you would imagine goes back way further. So of course it will work. In fact, the same concept is used in the floating disc brake.
The great thing about collective human intellect is that through oral traditions, drawings and latter written words, we as a species can preserve and build on ideas so they can be passed down to all humanity.
God Bless.
