Tuning Machines

How do i find out what kind of tuning machines i have if it is a 19:1 ratio tuning machine? is that 1/2 or 3/4 or what?

I have a Peavey mile stone bass that I'm trying to replace the tuning machines on.

19:1 rations means that for every 19 times you rotate the handle 360 degrees, the peg (what the string wraps around) will turn 1 full revolution.
