A reciprocating action drive having an elastically extensible reversing mechanism is disclosed in which drive levers are connected to a driven shaft by overrunning clutches such that when the levers are moved in a first direction, the shaft is driven, but when moved in a counter-rotating direction, it is not. The extensible reversing mechanism links the levers such that, when not extended, it causes the two levers to counter-rotate, only allowing one to drive the shaft. However, when the lever being moved in the non-driving direction changes direction, the reversing mechanism extends and does not immediately cause the other lever to change direction, but allows it to continue to move in the driving direction. Both levers may, therefore, simultaneously drive the driven shaft for as long as the extensible reversing mechanism extends, allowing latitude for unsynchronized reciprocating motions to be applied without them competing against each other.
