Glebe do a straight cut one too, are the gears then what it says on the tin just straight and no H pattern

Excuse my ignorance folks..
your getting confused here mate, the way the box engages gears inside the casing 'synchromesh' i.e std boxes - mullit, some straight cut close ration i.e quaife road boxes, then you have non synchro = 'dog' engagement no synchros just dog rings or dog gears.

the 'h' pattern bit is how it selects its engagement method you can have single 'h' and double 'h' where the gears are laid out from the stick in a 'h' pattern, the alternative 'sequential' where you have to select each gear in turn sequentialy funnily enough !!
