[GreenKeys] Gears, gears

[Don Robert House]

Larry,

I have around 300 different gears in a box that must weigh 30 pounds.   
What number gears do you need?
I will put the numbers I have in a database if I ever get the time.

I'm setting up my Model 28RO, recently acquired, on a new RO base.   
I've been working the gears between the motor pinion and the main  
shaft gear in a manner to have a tiny amount of slop between the motor  
gear and between the gear driving the main shaft.

This took a bit of juggling in order to accomplish the slight play so  
as to not have the gears tightly meshed.  However, I started to wonder  
if it is "permissible" to have a metal gear driving a mainshaft fiber  
gear.....a bit noisey.

Is there a "rule" about nylon to nylon or not metal to nylon???
