Mates,
Here are two graphics from Garcia Mitchell showing the external parts of a Mitchell 300. Hope this helps someone.
(I posted the internal parts on a previous post titled: KNOW YOUR MITCHELL 300-Internal Parts.)
Kind Regards,
Bill

Thanks for uploading those, they'll be handy to show new members who are struggling with the part names.

Welcome to the MRM.
Regarding the diagram all I can tell you it that it came from an original Garcia Mitchell Owners manual that came with every new reel. I haven't been able to find any kind of a date on these manuals. We can identify the reel shown as a fifth version Mitchell 300 and my best guess would be a 1956-57 reel.
Who knows who wrote the manual and what they knew.
Could you possibly consider a bronze or brass chrome plated bail a "stainless alloy", well maby
Kind Regards,
Bill
