I have only seen some very high level pictures, not detailed enough to tell
which gears were used. I am happy to hear the 40 tooth is back! I'll have to
ammend my 1977 page.

There are various types of tires. The old Technic tires were foam. Some of the
other old LEGO tires were hard, flexible plastic that look like rubber. I'm
quite sure that the big balloon tires actually are rubber.

For the moment, I am concentrating on sets. I am aware of the 870 motor set and
the 872 gearboxes, in fact they are sitting next to me right now! The point of
the site was supposed to be to show the functions of the sets as originally
designed by LEGO. The two supplemental sets in question (old 4.5V battery box,
motor, and gearboxes) were never actually officially used in a set. Neither was
the 880 12V motor. I may add them in a separate area in the future. I may also
eventually add some models from the idea books. But I have plenty to do before
then!
