Abstract
THIS little book belongs to “The Specialists' Series”; it is entirely of a practical nature, and deals with a subject little understood by engineers who do not happen to be machine-tool makers. As there is probably no other text-book on this subject, the work will fill a useful purpose. The author observes that a large proportion of so-called helical gears are incorrectly made, and are therefore far worse than common gears. With this observation we certainly heartily agree. Cases are known where an otherwise good machine has been spoiled by the use of badly designed helical gearing.
