Excerpt from A Treatise on Toothed Gearing: Containing Complete Instructions, for Designing, Drawing, and Constructing Spur Wheels, Bevel Wheels, Lantern Gear, Screw Gear, Worms; Etc;, And the Proper Formation of Tooth-Profiles, for the Use of Machinists, Pattern-Makers, Draughtsmen, Designers, Sci Old as the hills, and likewise, to many, as familiar. It may also seem to some, who have read more extensively than I have upon the subject of toothed gearing, that this book contains nothing new, or original with its author: had such been my belief, the book would never have been written, much less published.
