It is “Mechanism for converting two-way to one-way rotation 6a” with an added internal gear in order that input and output shafts are in line.
The grey input gear may change rotation direction but the rotation direction of the orange output shaft keeps unchanged.
All external gears are of the same tooth number.
Violet and blue gears are in mesh with yellow one.
