Overview
The theory on gearboxes and how to design them was all well and good. Here's how I applied it.
My early builds are 2 output, I know I should be making 3 output just to make them more versatile. These aren't recommendations either, just records. I can already see that my first designs were not well optimised and I've only just begun.

| (7/4) | |
| (5/3)*(5/6)*(4/7/5/3) |
I built this using the bold ratios, after I'd done a few and built a plan I looked back - clearly the italics would have been a better place to start.

I looked at hte Itallic ratios first, then settled on the bold ones. Still not happy about using a large gear.
