Hercules Gears

[funk2monk]

I have recently purchased a 1930's Hercules tandem in original condition minus a few parts.
I need the rear durallier which are mounted on a plate beneath the bottom frame stay (not on the drop out) however i'm not sure what to look for or what names or manufacturer to look for?
Any help greatly appreciated,

Exactly Midlife.
Whats the best place to find something like this?
Also, who makes these? Cyclo?

Trivelox I think.

I wonder if cyclo / benelux made something similar?

Cyclo did make something that attached to the chainstay, by a band on clip or a brazed on hanger...

Is that a hub gear coupled with a 3 speed derailleur? Giving 9 gears? Quite ingenious.

I think so, way back when as a young lad in a bike shop trying to learn how to maintain SA hubs (thank you Bunny, the elder mechanic) I came across a variety of hub gear / derailleur combinations. There was even a lightweight alloy SA hub
