    F1 gearbox. I didn't think I would be interested... but I was, thanks.

    I thought it would be something more rocket-sciency', not so agricultural.

    I don't like to tax my brain cells too much (Richard Osman's House of
    Games is my limit) and I haven't looked at a gearbox in years.

    There's just not really anything that would be more efficient that spur
    gears and dog rings.

    My car's gearbox got the same sort of isotropic superfinishing as the F1
    box's components got, so aside from the mechanism to make it shift sequentially, the F1 is quite similar to an LD200 with twice as many ratios.

    Sorry about the obnoxious soundtrack.

    Saw it a fair ways back on YouTube.

    It's beautiful seeing all the highly polished internals.

    :-)


    Doesn't look su=ignificantly more hi-tech than the last gearbox I had
    apart - fixing the lay-gear bearings on my Triumph 2.5 back in the day ...

    I was expecting cogs with fancy complex curves packed into a more
    compact geometry, or something ...

    Once you've developed the involute tooth form, there just isn't more optimization to be done...

    ...and if you make a much more compact geometry, you just make servicing
    the box more difficult.
