General Spatial Involute Gearing

Exploring the complexities of kinematic geometry, this work reflects on the author's early thoughts and the challenges of presenting them coherently. The narrative reveals internal tensions and a non-linear exploration of concepts, suggesting that future writers may simplify or reinterpret the ideas. It emphasizes the need for practical applications, hinting at the development of manuals for creating mechanical gears. The book combines primitive geometric intuition with computer-aided exploration and algebra, aiming to connect various elements of the subject.
