Lyman 55 Gilkerson conversion

[ngoforth]

I found a Lyman 55 in a box that says it has a Gilkerson conversion. Does anybody know what a Gilkerson conversion is? Google searches only bring up a Culver conversion on the lyman 55

I shot next to Orlin Gilkerson at the Super Shoot many years ago. Might be something he did.

Curious here.. Please take it apart, examine its function and let us know.

If I take it apart, no matter how simple it is to put back together, I will break it.

Yes that is one of Orlin Gilkersons conversion, basically a spin off of a Culver..
