Help with gearing..
Hallo again.
I need some help.
I thought I understood this gear ratio thingy, but somehow I have become thick
I have a cam motor with worm, a shaft on which sits a 12 tooth cog and a 28 tooth cog.
The drive axle on my 0-6-0T will have a 37 tooth gear.
Two questions:
1. Which of the two gears should I connect the worm to;
and
2. What will the best ( slowest) final ratio be, and how did you calculate it?
Many thanks, and sorry if this sounds obvious to you,
I have utterly confused myself, and quick research elsewhere has not helped!
Chris
