Bill here is a little info if it will help.
This transmission has three shafts and each shaft has a gear that all mesh all the time.
This gear that I want to make is mounted at the 12 o clock positon and it has 12 teeth.
The 48 tooth gears is at 6 o clock.
Another gear is at 3 o clock and it has 15 teeth.
The 12 tooth meshes with the 48 and the 15 meshes with the 48 but the 12 and 15 do not mesh togehter.
I thought maybe this would help in determining the correct angle.
