Our team gets sprockets/chains/gears machined by Borg Warner people and realize they make 90% of the world's small car chains and 80% of the larger automobile chains... such schweet quality.
Cast iron? That is a little brittle and extremely heavy if I remember correctly. I think you may be refering to gears made of pressed powdered metal like the old chiaphua gear cluster. If you want a good idea of how hard that thing was, try to grind it off. The lathe wouldn't even scratch it.
