Stock Drive Products used to include a copy of their "Handbook of Gears" as a standard part of their catalog. Unfortunately, they stopped this practice a few years ago. However, they still have a version online at http://www.sdp-si.com/D190/D190cat.htm. The information in the Handbook is very useful, and a great introduction to gear train design.
