[R-390] Gear train rebuild help needed......

[rbethman]

Charles,

Yes, I do frequently make mistakes.

I may well have been confused as to which part of the gear train was 
involved.

I have also known for quite some time that those that never make 
mistakes never do anything.

I do indeed learn from my mistakes.

I have no problem with you correcting me on list, and do not have this 
concept that -  "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.", I accept the scoldings for what they are.

I have no animosity in that regard.  I actually do appreciate the 
pointer to the Wiki regarding Geneva Gears.

I've had to explain and demonstrate Torrington bearings to folks.

Regards,

Bob - N0DGN
