Yes that is correct Sledge, i posted about that a while ago in this thread. They had to manually shift things using some kind of chain hoists and manual shifting, and it was cause of much delay and many injuries to crew. I believe the problem originated because IJN was trying to do as much in house (ie. in Japan) as possible and did not want to import the technology to do it more efficiently but i am not sure. Whatever the cause, it was a major problem for their boats and handicapped them at vital times in boat operations from what i have heard and read.
