But the Green Gear wasn't IN the conversation until you brought it 
up.  Nobody had said anything about the Green Gear, or about 
R390/URRs, in any of the previous posts in this thread.  The only 
person who was confused was you.  You mistakenly thought that a 
Geneva Gear is the same thing as a Green Gear -- as you put it, a 
"green, Geneva Gear" -- when, in fact, there is no such thing.

There is a Geneva Drive/Geneva Gear, and there is a Green Gear, but 
never the twain shall meet.  This stuff is hard enough for beginners 
to learn without subjecting them to posts that spread confusion, like that one.

I know it must seem that I live only to scold you on-list, but that 
is really not the case and I sincerely apologize for it looking that 
way.  However, you have a long-running habit of posting comments 
about radio technology that are just plain wrong and must be 
corrected -- unfortunately, on-list -- so that beginners and people 
searching the archives will not be misled by them.  (This time, you 
had the OP apologizing for misunderstanding, when in fact he had a 
perfectly correct understanding of the Geneva Drive until you posted.)

Best regards,

Charles
