K. It is proportional tothe secant of the angle of obliquity, and in-creases rapidly with that angle. The chief influence of the obliquity isupon the friction between the teeth, and con-sequent ineflSciency of the gear, and uponthe destruction by wearing. It is par-ticularly important upon the… … Fig. 17. will vary with the obliquity, the tangentialforce exerted to turn the gear is alwaysuniform.
