The gearing may comprise a pinion 6 on the drum engaging a pinion 7 which is driven by a pinion 10 on the spindle 15 of the driving- crank 14. To reduce the speed, the spindle 15 can be moved endways to cause the pinion 10 to engage a pinion 9 provided with a pinion 8 engaging the pinion 7. The crank may be detachably secured to the spindle 15 by the engagement of a spring catch on the crauk with a lug on the spindle.
