Check out the Tech Manual under "Support" at www.sierrasteels.com

Under the "Changer" heading on page 5 is the description and on page 11 you'll see a diagram.

I've had these on all 4 of my Sierra steels. It's a tandem/block pull rod configuration...sometimes called a master/slave rodding system.
Because Sierra has a 3 raise 2 lower finger changer, an additional pull can be made available on any string by use of a tandem rodding system.

It only works on open-ended bell cranks like the Sierra. I'm putting one on my Desert Rose steel using a Fessenden open-ended bell crank.
