Real great explanation! Everybody understands all these formulars in a few seconds.

Don't waste words...

Yea. there isnt much on this topic anywhere on the net.

This would be real helpful with pictures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Helliez r us (talk • contribs) 04:18, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copy paste

While expanding the section on gear formulas, I came upon an identical rendering in mathworks. The equations use the same symbols, and appear in the same order. Perhaps, they both came from the same free source. I am too new at this to make judgments. 68.165.238.231 (talk) 04:54, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

um........?

I presume whatever you guys are talking about has long since been deleted...

This is probably my third or fourth time ending up on this page and trying to get my head around how this works, and I've failed again, only having a partial detail of the patent diagram, the body text, and a couple photos of an ancient Ford example to try and go by.

Like, how does it not end up with those gears simply jamming against each other and everything going bang? How do you get three + reverse from only two driven elements and one output? Most especially how does it cause the output to go in different directions? What exactly is going on? Aaaargh. 193.63.174.254 (talk) 19:25, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
