..just how do these work, I figure you pedal in low, then backpedal a bit anf it shifts into high; but how do you get it back to low?

Just pedal back again. I did a rebuild thread with a fellow member covering both red and yellow band Bendix Automatics. There are lots of pics of the internal workings of both hubs.

as I remember it, when you backpedal, it shifts to the gear it is not already in.

unlike a hub with a shifter, you don't have anything to tell you which gear it was left in.

you will find out when you try to take off in the higher gear
