When the axes of first and last gear are co-axial, then gear train is known as
A
simple gear train
B
compound gear train
C
reverted gear train
D
epicyclic gear train
Correct Answer: reverted gear train
When the axes of the first gear (i.e. first driver) and the last gear (i.e. last driven or follower) are co-axial, then the gear train is known as reverted gear train. When there are more than one gear on a shaft, as shown in Fig. 13.2, it is called a compound train.
