REELS

The One Way System is an infinite backstop system,
where blocking is determined by the disconnection
of a uni-directional roller bearing which unblocks
the rotor. This procedure is actioned by a small
lever normally positioned above or below the
body of the reel. When the mechanism is inserted,
the bearing is always directly engaged on the
mechanism and, therefore, on the crank.
