Hi. Russell is right. I did alot of this in my former life as a mechanical
engineer, but it's not as difficult to do in LEGO(R) as one might think.
Basically, one has to set up two parallel gear trains and then 'preload'
them against each other by using a rubber band (instead of a spring) I
don't have any pictures to really illustrate this, but I've had good luck
anchoring the rubber bands to the larger gears with technic pegs.
