What’s your answer?

[BrokenBackJack]

Oh for Pete's sake the answer is YES. ;:;rofl

It either closes the box, or, if you count from the handle, downstream gear #10 gets jammed and doesn't allow the contraption to turn at all.

Those are my guesses.

Like I like every box. Open. Wide open.

Like "hotdog down a hallway" wide open?

 

[honkerslayer]

Open

 

[Maddog]

I'm retired and frankly don't care. : )

 

[Jm1986]

Closes. But identifies as being open

 

[Lapper]

Simon says…..open

 

[RPNLPS]

It will close and open! You can not mandate it any other way!

 

[espringers]

I like the "yes" answer. Nice.

it changes direction twice so last sprocket goes same direction as the top crank arrow?

It swaps direction 13 times (gear to gear and crossed belts produce opposite rotation). Direct belts just transfer so they're meaningless.

So an odd number of swaps - the last cog is spinning opposite of the crank so it pulls the lid up.

Looks like the sepentine belt in my car, same screwed up rotations. LB

My wife is a banker, she uses this same style diagram to let me know I cannot purchase anymore fishing shenanigans.
Maybe she calls herself a banker, but is actually an engineer fucking up my good time...
