Description

Lantern gears are a very old type of gearing, which used to be frequently found in mills. At that time, wooden bars were used. Nowadays these are low-friction trundles. Lantern gears are still used when heavy loads have to be transmitted at low speeds, e.g. for driving large telescopes.

Usage

  1. Switch to the FCGear Workbench.
  2. Invoke the command several way:
  3. Change the gear parameter to the required conditions (see Properties → Data below).
