Yeah, the 1 through 2N share a different style wind mechanism (claw and
gear) while the 2S through 4Ti use something like a roller/clutch mech.
I've seen some 1s that are so nicely broken in that you can wind them with 1
finger. Funny, I also had a recent complaint from a customer that his 1
"wound too easily to the next frame and how much to stiffen it up."
