Mark,
I guess I'm just dense or something.
The "string" method would fail to take into account the number of teeth
in the inner pinion gear as well as the side gears.
I suppose that in order to satisfy my density factor here, I'm going to
have to go out and try it since I know what gears I have. Then, if I
don't come up with the correct expected result, I will ask why.
Hey, no question about which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a
pound of gold.
Everything is relative to money. So.....
Best Regards,
Tony
