The gearbox of a veteran Renault? (update: doubtful...)
Australia seems like a goldmine for veteran parts which never will get exhausted. John Hills likes to learn what may be the origin of this veteran gearbox. He writes: "It was manufactured under licence in accordance with the 1899 Renault patent. Details of the original vehicle it came from are now lost, but the gearbox was sourced from New South Wales, Australia."
Editor: the gearbox is very dry but seems otherwise in remarkable condition. We're sure that not long from now it will pop-up in one of the incomplete projects of which many are waiting for necessary parts to comply with the 3 out 5 rule in the circles of veteran car lovers. Anybody who can tell which makes of car made use of this type of Renault direct drive transmission? Otherwise we will check again with Renault Freres.

The gearbox is unlikely to be Renault, as it was manufactured under license to the Renault patent. This patent was, as I understand it, for a direct-drive top gear. Solid and well made, although the casing is not split vertically, it is similar to a period Delaunay Belleville. It may well be a commercially made item. All input greatly appreciated.

I may be incorrect but to me it has a very commercial look about it.

The 1899 gearbox was a lot smaller and looked nothing like this one. As Chris says it was a tumbler box and the casing split top to bottom. I haven't seen a veteran Renault gearbox like this.

I would doubt its Renault, I think they were using tumbler type gear boxes in the early days. A check with the French Patent office for the patent (Brevet number) should reveal the patentee.
