A direct-drive, movable pole shoe design are mainly used for cost reduction rather than electrical or mechanical benefits. This type of starter eliminated the solenoid, replacing it with a movable pole shoe and a separate starter relay.

The Gear Reduction Starters operates as follows:

• Operator closed the key-operated starting switch

• A small electric current flowed through the starter relay coil, closing the contacts and sending a large current to the starter motor assembly

• Pole shoes linked to the starter drive

• Spring loaded away from its normal operating position, swung into position

• Pinion gear to engage the flywheel ring gear

• Closed a pair of heavy-duty contacts supplying current to the starter motor winding

• The starter motor cranked the engine until it started.

• Overrunning clutch in the pinion gear uncoupled the gear from the ring gear

• Operator released the key-operated starting switch, cutting power to the starter motor assembly
