Re: Wireless works great on phone, horrible on PC - new equi

Do a wireless survey to find a channel that's free and check for interference. 10Mbps is pretty pathetic. 10Mbps over internet, not LAN. I figured out the problem. My wireless headphones transmitter, even though the headphones were off and not paired, still screws up the signal. As soon as I shut ...

Why is a gearbox geared this way?

Move to other forum if this isn't the best one.

Look at this image:

Though it's not to scale, hopefully it conveys the idea. Why does this gearbox have these series of motors, instead of just going straight from a small gear on the motor shaft to a big one on the axle?
