The original mechanical sheep shearing gear in Oz was line shaft. The individual shearing gear used a friction drive to the handpiece. The comb and cutter grinder was also belt driven off that shaft. Power was originally steam, then internal combustion (eventually usually diesel). When SWER line electricity became available the shaft drive might have been converted to electric motor drive.
Or if the gear was well used to individual electric motor powered units, still with a friction drive to the handpiece.
The drive to the handpiece was (I think early was flexible shaft) but the ones I know via a 2-piece drive shaft in a steel downtube, with a a moveable angle drive at the back of the handpiece and a second one at the top of the "short gut", about 2 feet up from the handpiece.
