I am a new user of Gearotic. I am unfamiliar with all of the terminology used in the tutorials.
Is there a glossary od useful gear terminology that I can refer to?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark:
This site has a few good definitions of the terms I tend to use.

Ask about anything your unsure of though, Im happy to explain, sometimes the
terminology is a bit fluid.. such as the words Wheel and Pinion, the true definition
is the smaller gear is a pinion and the larger is a wheel, but generally in Gearotic
the left hand gear on the design screen is the wheel and the right hand one is the
pinion. Other examples exist, but Im happy to explain anything you may have questions on.
