Textbook Question
Chapter 38, Problem 5ASRQ
Technician A says that if a single idler gear is used to obtain reverse gear, its size and number of teeth must be used to calculate gear ratios. Technician B says that an idler gear is often used for reverse gear because it causes the output shaft to rotate in the reverse direction of the input shaft. Who is correct?
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both A and B
d. Neither A nor B
