Hmmmm... looks complicated. And, I can't say I've had major twist problems just casting. I've seen it caused by certain lure types, and from using a reel's drag (I back-reel so this last isn't a problem.)

It was actually patented by Cliff Martin from Australia in 1960. That's what the 4-2-60 stands for. It went into production in 1964 and the company was sold in 1970 to Oakley Agencies, who changed the body & spool to die cast metal according to Ben Wright's book, so that would make it a late '60s manufacture since it is an Australian cedar example.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

I saw the Airex Larchmont a few pages back and I just got one at a yardsale the other day. Thought I'd share a few pictures of the internals. It's pretty simple but works quite well.
