Please explain what the title of the article has to do with the article itself. RickK 02:21, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

As a gear maker myself I agree the title need changing "Involute Gear" and the article could do with fleshing out a bit e.g. a french mathematician invented the curve in the 14-1700 ? but its application to gearing was not understood until the 18xx also there are other gear forms. Therefore keep and rename Archivist 23:54, Oct 30, 2003 (UTC)

The title seems to be refering to a particular gear in an anamorphic movie camera lens but the article is about the involute gear type. Archivist 00:07, Oct 31, 2003 (UTC)

From VFD:

  • Anamorphic gear is sort of confusing, and not real written. Plus, the contents are describing "involute profiles"; what does that have to do with "Anamorphic gears"? -- Khym Chanur 07:52, Oct 28, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. It is missing a connection between the two, but I'd wait and see if someone can finish the article to a useful point - Marshman
    • Keep and rename. As a gear maker myself I agree the title is wrong for the text it needs changing to "Involute Gear" and the article could do with fleshing out a bit e.g. a french mathematician invented the curve in the 14-1700 ? but its application to gearing was not understood until the 18xx also there are other gear forms etc. The title seems to be refering to a particular gear in an anamorphic movie camera lens but the article is not.

    • This article is fine for an encyclopedia. And with all the complaints of 'geek priorities', I'm sure there's someone here who knows enough about them to complete this article. Wiwaxia 02:04, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
