Type F
The
Type F No.2 sports the first logo imprinted
on
a No.2's crank. It's still the good old Millers Falls site for the
company, too. You may also notice that the crank handle is now bigger,
as though it wasn't manly enough to grasp the older small handle
between
thumb & forefinger. Now you've got the opportunity to wrap your
whole
hand around it. A simple glance at the gear ratio ought to indicate to
a knowledgeable user that the drill is for smaller bits, not monsters,
so the bigger handle seems to have been a marketing response rather
than
a true "development." The Star chuck's patent had by now run
out, so the Type F's chuck has no patent date
imprinted
on it. That's probably why the Millers falls logo now appears on
the
crank - there was no longer any point to marking the chuck.
