This is the oldest type . The pawls are 4 .
The shaft is plated steel . The end of shaft is longer than the others by 1 mm for durability .
恐らく最も古いタイプです。シャフト先端の爪が４枚です。
The pawls become 2 from 4 . Is it for " cost down " ? No . It can hold the spool more firmly . It maybe better for the planamatic models .
The end of the shaft is shorter than 60's . But its durability is no problem .
The plastic of shaft become black .
The shaft changed to brass in 80's . The number of E is smaller than steel . But it is no problem in use .
The brass is smooth for pinion and supporting hole .
It is better than steel for anti-rust .
308Pro Planamatic , which was made only for Japan , had the all brass shaft . Perhaps , it was only for the sticker of " made in France " .
But the metallic material is heavier than the plastic . The gear of the shaft maybe damage the line when it is wound in . It has no mellit .
308planamatic had the " off set " holes for good winding for planamatic .
