Oldbelt, I just came across the slides you uploaded in the Media section. I don't see the BevelGearCalc.xlt file that is mentioned as the spreadsheet to be used. Is that to be uploaded yet or is it an upload in a forum post? It looks like a good tutorial on making gears.
I think the spreadsheet and the slides may be better located in the Resources section. (I looked but didn't see the spreadsheet there.)
Harold I can't se how to upload a excel spreadsheet, it isn't allowed in the media section.
How can I reach you in the forum,? In new thread? or som post direct to you?
This calculation is made to ad restaration of the Climax loco in CASS West Virginia for WSimonton
who documented the 100 year old loko. in Alibre.
This type of gear wasn't in the text book and only fragments of the original drawings was found.
Wsimonton and I have during 3-4 years over 600 private mails about this project.
