Here's a rough way to calculate your own answer. Each link takes up 2
teeth. So to make treads using 24T gears, figure 24 links for the ends,
then measure axle centerto axle center and measure using the rack pieces
how many teeth that is. I think, but can't be sure, that there are 2
teeth per stud to stud gap. Count the teeth on a rack piece, which is 4
studs.

| (...) The 4x1 rack has ten teeth, so you can calculate five links for every four studs of length as a general rule. Fredrik (25 years ago, 11-Jul-99, to lugnet.build)
