I ran most ratios through a pathetic microsoft product to derive a comparible
metric read-out for those that made the transition from the stone age.
put simply:
1 1:12
3 20:36
1 16:24
produces 1:104.9 at 95.5mm per rotation
or for every 10.026 meters.
2.6 meters error per Kilometer.
I only ran declining ratios to a factor of 8, so there may be a result with
less error using either more sequences or a combination of delining and
increasing torque combinations.

I ran my VB program and came up with the following:
7 x 20:36
7 x 16:24
which produces an error of 0.991 meters per kilometer.
Of course, packaging that many gears is probably a bit challenging ... but I’ll
bet you can do it ;)
