Re: pic: Helical Gears?

It's an image artifact. The spacing of the gear teeth in the image is close to the size of the pixels, and the JPEG compression picks up on the diagonal aliasing and enhances it. Look at the bright area on the left end of the CIM motor and you'll see the same kind of illusion.
