I ran that phrase through the universal translator but didn't get anything useful.

We're talking about a S-A three-speed hub, right?

Sturmey currently offers their DLS30 "Rapid Fire" style push-push shifter, their TSS33 and TSS31 twist shifters, their OSS30 push button up/trigger down shifter, their SLS3C classic trigger and SLS3N modern styled trigger. They have announced their SLS30B bar-end shifter and their SLS30T thumb shifter, but no availability date has been published.

If none of this will do, all you really need with a Sturmey three is to set 2nd gear - first is cable taut and 3rd is cable slack. You could do this with almost any indexed shifter, including brifters, by establishing a particular shift position as aligned 2nd gear.
