Re: pitch of FP motor pinion gear

Jim,

Unless I am misunderstanding, if you put the two gears in series then the first stage is functioning as an idler. Since an idler doesn't affect the gear ratio, and the motor is reversible I find myself asking, why? I'm sure I am just creating the wrong mental picture, but what is the correct one? Got a photo?
