Recently I bought early '70s? vintage AC FPL40-24-2PS pneumatic tire forklift with Buda, 4B-153, OHV, 4 cyl. propane engine & Borg Warner T11 two speed auto. trans. (rigid machine!)
I bought a engine/trans. parts manual on ebay - In looking through the manual I noticed various part #'s as being for a "Cotton Unit". I was hoping one of you really checked out A/C guys might know what that was? I noticed the front engine crankshaft pulley was a 2 belt for the "Cotton Unit" as opposed to a 1 belt as mine is - but then some of these had an "Oil Clutch" paired with a manual trans. so ???
Thanks for any info.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
