    Any wat in which 1 and 3 are not in contact with each other. Lines work. 2 being double thickness and 1 and 3 having depth separation works.

    Gears are really simple and absolutely something more people should understand

          I wish I was an engineer, but I have read a few mechanical engineering books with chapters on gears, and it really is a bottomless pit.

          In the example, I recall seeing a method a ways back where 3 interlaced gears could rotate simultaneously. Two are linked traditionally, while one is a helical gear that slides though the teeth of the other two. It had a slick animation, wish I could find it.

      Nothing is more simple than American’s, I’m afraid. We’ve been losing a war on education for around 70 years now.
