You can do some searches on it. The individual cogs move on the rear and VERY stiffly. The setup was such that you can shift while coasting.

Jeff Wills - I believe most were varsity "deluxe" models.
Okey-dokey- "DeLuxe Varsity" I can believe.

Brusilov: the Shimano "freewheel" used with the FFS system uses a different freewheel tool than the much more common "Uniglide" type. It is not the Shimano TL-FW30 or Park PA-FR1. Bicycle Research makes one, it's their #CT-4: http://www.bicycleresearchtools.com/...l#anchor270825
