Re: pic: 254/968 Transmission

I will be posting more pictures and details of the transmissions in a few days when I have some free time.

For reference, this gearbox is Kirk Oden and my senior project as Manufacturing Engineering students. As such, be prepared for some rather detailed analysis and explanations of chosen materials and processes as well as work study and analysis simulations of assembly and maintainence times. At the very least we plan on sharing our findings and suggestions on possible changes/improvements that people may want to make if they chose to pursue something similar.

In the next few days expect a new post in the technical discussion with many more pictures of the assembly and detailed part pictures, as well as explanations of the manufacturing processes, coatings, material selections and properties, part weights, etc.
