They are indeed. I got them for Xmas in '72 or '73, perhaps even '71. They
were code colored, if I remember correctly, and came in three sizes: blue,
red and yellow. Teeth were widely spaced and had a kind of 'bulbeous'
shape: the tip of thr tooth was thicker than the base. I guess the mesh was
better that way.
Too bad I don't have them anymore....

| I don't have them either. I sold all my old legos when I was about 17 or 18. I still regret that. One of the nice things about these gears is that you could mesh them at various angles, up to 90 degrees. Most current technic gears don't do that. (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
