There are another indirect references to small and large pulleys (in my opinion) in 2-K and 6-C-2-B (my comments in bold)

2-K
...
Rotation induces a Throw-Out action, pulling the centers of gravity of every moveable component, In-Line and On-Plane with its axis or center, whether or not they were originally In-Line or On-Plane. With a short radius [small pulley] it can accelerate easily, and quickly acquire considerable Angular Velocity. If a portion of this mass moves to a longer radius [larger pulley], the slowing effect (6-C-2-B) must be computed on the basis of the total mass AS LONG AS THE PORTION IS BEING PROPELLED BY THE TOTAL. That is - the slowdown would be in the same ratio that the portion has to the whole - the original central mass.

6-C-2-B ANGULAR ACCELERATION The Clubhead "Overtaking" speed is governed by the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum whereby the increased Mass resulting from any extension of the Swing Radius [larger pulley] decelerates the Hands and unless they are supported by Power Package Thrust (6-B-1) or Throw Out Action (2-K), can result in great loss of Clubhead Speed.

I originally gave the example of an ice skater who spins faster when she draws in her arms, and spins slower when she stretches out her arms. It is the same in the golfswing.
