(...) like (...) to (...) Lego. I didn't have the heart to tell anyone that the reason our AS 206 SP machine has a 3:2 ratio is beacuse of the 24:16 tooth gears used on the original LEGO model.

(...) Hmm... What if you did it with a 40 and 20? The spacing would be... wierd... 3 1/4 studs or something? You'd have to do it vertically, I guess, to get half of a half. (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Sadly I don't think you can run a chain over the 20 tooth gears, if they're the ones I'm thinking of. :( Also, you can't mount them and (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Works well with 3 bricks vertical offset, 1 stud horizontal. There is also 12 + 24, but that suffers from a similar problem. The best I can come up with is 1 brick vertical, 2 studs horizontal, but there's a little too much play. (...) No, (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
