(...) The other cool analogy that falls out of this is the synchronization of positioning or phase angle (for AC power systems). If you have a long shaft with a gear on each end, and you index one tooth on each gear, the rotational position reletive (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

is this the same 32 long in this set, as in the hockey ones? Also, I thought the hockey axles had "stops" part way down the axle. (URL) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
