Don,
Your last post was not sent to my news server - I've found it using

I wasn't talking about changing gears within the headstock, but
there usually is a cover which can be removed or opened on the
left-hand end of the headstock to give access only to the gears used
for threading.
Because of final exams at University I would check the gearing at the
end of September.
So Bison is actually the name in Poland. I find that interesting.
Does "Bison" have a special meaning in Poland?
Bison means the same in my language but is written slightly different
- Bizon. There's special breed of Bison called Zubr (Z has dot over
self and has really hard pronunciation for you). Zubr is quite rare
now and actually inhabit in Polish forests on the NorthEast. There's a
vodka called Zubrowka (mostly known abroad) 
With Kind Regards,

IIRC, 'bison' comes from 'wisent', which is a Polish word. Wisent was a
kind of European bison, perhaps the same as Zubr?
