: Nothing much, I have generally finished the design of the gears and am making plans for the construction of a larger second version of the Cowlishaw-like wheel I've been working with. Btw, do any of you know about the efficiency of gears with epicycloidial addenda and hypocycloidial dedenda? These gears are easy for me to design, but I don't want to waste time making gears that won't work.
"The Machinist's Handbook" will give you all the info you need.
