Shackleton translation unit

I've been trying to explain how the Shackleton - and probably most other contra-rotating prop types - transmitted the forward propeller pitch change demands to the rear prop which was rotating in the opposite direction.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.............has anyone got a decent diagram of the Propeller Translation Unit they could post ? Thanks.
