    This document outlines an assignment on gear production engineering. It contains 5 questions covering topics like the purposes of gears, gear terminology, gear manufacturing processes like hobbing and grinding, and comparisons of different gear types. Calculations are required to determine gear dimensions based on module, number of teeth, pressure angle, and center distance. The last question discusses plastic gear molding and lists stages in gear manufacture using powder metallurgy, sand casting, and a gear shaper. The assignment is due on September 29, 2017.
