Circa 1968 one of my father's friends gave me a 26x1-3/8" wheel with a 14-16-18-20 cog block on a standard Sturmey-Archer AW hub. Independently, one of my friends gave me a 26x1-3/8" wheel with a...

Fichtel & Sachs introduced their Torpedo 3 Speed Internal Gear Hubs in Germany in the early 30's. By 1935 they were offering those hubs with 3 speed FWs.

I was in Japan in 1964-65. I bought a...

The hub is probably a Styria "Drei Gang", made by Steyr-Daimler-Puch. They are close copies of the Sturmey AW-3.

My notes indicate cyclist David Sore rode 35000 miles on an around-the-world tour (1966-1969) aboard a bicycle fitted with ten-speed derailleur gear and a three-speed Sturmey-Archer hub.

Many moons ago (meaning 1973 or 1974), a friend and made a literal barn find of an old Bianchi with a cottered triple up front with a five-speed freewheel on a three-speed hub. So, 45 speeds total. ...

That is a cool setup.

I can’t find it but I thought Sachs, very shortly, made a 2 spd hub with a 7 spd cassette. Whilst looking for it I came across this technobabble but it makes an interesting...

I'm certain it is a freewheel (possibly an Atom or Regina) and not a cassette. Have you checked the SA hub date? Finally, IIRC, a '61 Varsity was an eight-speed with a four-speed freewheel.

A threaded driver, a standard old Sturmey piece instead of a splined one, will allow you to use a freewheel screwed onto the rear hub for a 3xX setup. You can combine that with a double or triple...
