Speaking of gears, perhaps one of you with a mech. eng. or
manufacturing eng. background can explain how they make them? We
take them for granted but a gear is a marvelous device. To create
those helical teeth and hardened surfaces must require some
diabolically clever technique or at least people who knows what they
are doing. A blacksmith's hammer and tongs ain't innit, I suspect.
(I think I'll just pop down to the drugstore and pick up a few
layshafts. Need anything while I'm there?)
Have always been curious. Thanks,
