Sturmey-Archer internal operation video would be way cool.

I've been searching the web inside-out for .mpgs and any video clips
depicting the internal function of Sturmey-Archer type bike gearing.

To those reading this, that may not be familiar, the S-A bike gears
are what's been around since the early 1900s. The unit's multiple
gears were contained in the rear wheel's hub, and was not unlike a
car's manual transmission, employing a sun gear, and planetary gears.

Google "Sturmey Archer" (with the quotes), and a myriad of information
will pop up. But I can't find clips.

If any of you know, would you please post here.

That would be cool. As a kid, I so wanted to bust apart my [older and much
larger] brother's hub to look inside, but he would have done in kind to my
head.

Here you go
