Summary
Summary
This A-Z guide to gears and gearing includes registered and non-registered trade names, abbreviations and cross-referencing. It is intended as a quick reference for engineers involved in the design, selection, maintenance, lubrication, troubleshooting, testing and inspection (quality control), and applications of gear, gear drives and their related components.

Booklist Review
This highly specialized dictionary is intended for those working in the gearing industry, manufacturing, or engineering design facilities so that standardization in terminology can be maintained. Presented are definitions for materials (copolymer), tools (chuck), and processes (martempering). Computer applications in machine tooling are defined. In addition to gearing terms, acronyms, association names, and personal names are identified. Six appendixes cover the nomenclature for grinding, gaging, hob, gear shaving cutter, milling-cutter, and broaching. Since these are all gear-related, they could just as well have been included in the main part of the dictionary. Also, the Board questions why such terms as time study, combined work, and access time found their way into the dictionary when they have little to do with gears and gearing. All in all, however, this unique dictionary is quite readable, with definitions that are easy to understand and clear drawings as illustrations. It is recommended for engineering and manufacturing libraries as well as university and large public libraries. (Reviewed ^May 01, 1995^)
Choice Review
The objective of this book is to provide definitions of terms that are important in the gearing industry. Listing entries from A to Z, this ready-reference tool provides quick access to gearing terminology and gives clear, concise definitions. Many entries are cross-referenced to help save costly lookup time. This source also provides meanings for terms found in industry standards and other vendor or manufacturer publications. Six appendixes provide information and illustrations on nomenclature specific to grinding, gauging, hob, gear shaving cutter, milling-cutter, and broaching. This easy to use reference would be of value to engineering and technical students and professionals involved in the selection, design, maintenance, and application of gears and their related components.
