I've never seen a table of allowed spacings between gear wheels. (For example,
two 40t gears will mesh nicely if spaced apart by three studs horizontally
and 3 and one-third bricks vertically).
I wrote a little program to compute all possible combinations like that...and
not just for *perfect* spacings, also for those that are a little too close
or a little too far apart.
I've excluded combo's that are more than 0.1 studs too tight or too loose.
That seems to be the maximum tolerable error (experimentally).
The information is on my web site here:

...forgive me if this is all well-known stuff.
I'm starting to accumulate more information of this nature.
