Over on Gail's thread we were discussing gear cutting, and Dan mentioned the book Gear Cutting Simplified from Industrial Press. Just got my copy, terrific reference book, makes a great addition to the Ivan Law book. It lays out ghe terms and formulas much better than Law does, where Law gives more background info.

Sounds like a good book. I've got Ivan Law's book..........just need to spend more time with it. What I actually need is a copy of "Gear Cutting for Dummies"! Of course there's no substitute for coming up with a need and then just dive in and do it.Jim
Chris--I get a lot of ribbing about the "living color" I use with my models. I do it because it makes the individual components so much easier to see.--Brian

Also it has the mounting flange showing, also light, which makes it look larger. I used to work with a lot of image scientist types, who would be able to talk for hours on perception effects and optical dillusions.
