Hmm, this little post o'mine doesn't seem to be making any great headway. Perhaps it is considered blasphemous somehow, to question the Great Gleason in the Sky?
Inshaa, um, thanks. Spiral gears would be done by the same method, with size derived directly from helical spur gear formulae-- y'know, cosine of the helix angle and all that. Lead angle calculation no different either, is what i was thinkin'.
Yay or nay?
Did i just invent a new type of gear?
