Publisher's Synopsis
Helical Gears: A Practical Treatise is a book written by Foreman Pattern Maker in 1893. It is a comprehensive guide to helical gears, which are a type of gear used in machinery to transmit power between two shafts at an angle. The book covers the design, manufacture, and use of helical gears in detail, providing practical advice and examples throughout. The book begins with an introduction to the basic principles of gear design and the advantages of using helical gears over other types of gears. It then goes on to describe the various types of helical gears, including single, double, and triple helical gears, and explains how to calculate the gear ratios and tooth profiles for each type. The author also provides detailed instructions on how to manufacture helical gears, including the tools and machinery required, the materials used, and the various processes involved. This includes information on cutting, shaping, and finishing the gears, as well as heat treatment and testing.In addition to the technical aspects of helical gears, the book also covers their practical applications in various industries, including the textile, mining, and railway industries. It provides examples of how helical gears are used in different types of machinery, such as lathes, milling machines, and steam engines.Overall, Helical Gears: A Practical Treatise is a valuable resource for engineers, machinists, and anyone interested in the design and manufacture of helical gears. It provides a thorough understanding of the principles and practical applications of these gears, making it an essential reference for anyone working in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
