Gears are wheels with teeth shaped so as to transmit rotational motion from one wheel to another. One of the wheels may be a rack (a wheel of infinite radius). In this case, rotational motion of a wheel is transformed into translatory motion of the rack or vice versa. The present chapter is restricted to gears transforming uniform motion of one wheel into uniform motion of the other wheel or rack. This restriction eliminates from investigation specialties such as elliptical wheels, Geneva wheels etc.
