This review is from: Encyclopedic Dictionary of Gears and Gearing (Hardcover)
Encyclopedic Dictionary of Gears and Gearing is worth owning. It has many well-drawn illustrations, is organized to be accessable, and reads well. The authors do know what they're talking about.

I have two problems with the book - 1) some very basic gear terms, e.g. "hob" and "hobbing" are undefined, although both terms are frequently used thoughout the text, 2) some of the entries are out of alphabetical order and therefore hard to find, e.g. "nongenerated gear".

Aside from these editorial problems, I learned a good deal quickly from this reference book.
