Gear Design Simplified, 3rd Edition

This classic reference is a compilation of a series of gear-designing charts illustrating by simple diagrams and examples the solutions of practical problems relating to spur gears, straight-tooth bevel gears, spiral-bevel gears, helical gears for parallel shaft drives, helical (spiral) gears for angular drives, herringbone gears, and worm gears.

• Contains a series of simply diagrammed gear-designing charts, illustrating solutions to practical problems.
• Presents all of the rules, formulas, and examples applying to all types of gears.
• Aids design engineers and manufacturers involved in the production of gears.
