In the mid 60s I used to drive up and down between Cambridge and Dundee where I was at University. I had a 1930 fabric saloon and on one of these trips I drove in company with my friend George in his 34 Box saloon.
We diverted from the A1 to visit Kirby Wiske for various spares.
George needed aspeedo worm drive from the gearbox. John Dalby pulled a gearbox out from the floor onto his bench and smashed it to pieces with a large hammer. He rummaged through the debris for the worm.
He said he always dismantled them that way as he had so many and used the aluminium for casting fan pulleys etc.
