I would be happy if we could determine if and when the gears were made stronger (versus just changed in the number of teeth), and also get a bit more advice on which gears are truly interchangealbe, as in you don't need to swap out pairs.
It would also be cool if we could build a table by year showing detailed changes around the gears, shafts, and shells from 1960 to 1975.
But perhaps I am just hallucinating.......

yes mate, I am progressing to that very goal. gearing is a very very big subject.
Full libraries have been written about this subject. Many dissertations have also been written.
So for those following this , all I can say is I will continue to the best of my ability.. The purpose of this thread is to discover the changes to the AMC box and for interest only try and provide information for educational purposes.,
the subject may cover by necessity pre-Commando but will try and stay true to the title. it will not cover Burman.
I cannot because of time and space limitations write a article that can be as long as "Days of Our Lives".
this is not a dissertation for a PHD. So I will not provide referencing in an academic manner. but if necessary I will
LAB has provided much necessary and very helpful information and hopefully will continue to do so.
being a large subject I do ask for patience .
I do have trouble posting and I will try and get around that problem.
So, here we go.
before the next post, I will summarise what has gone before.
1. some definitions.
2. Pitch circles and the function
3. Standard tooth sizing, eg DP. The Commando uses the 10DP size tooth
4. circular pitch
next post will start to look more closely at a tooth
