Ambiguity[edit]

There are disambiguity problems/merging problems here, I think. The different concepts migh be:

  1. a cut teeth wheel (Danish "tandhjul" Wikipedia article seems mainly about this)
  2. a device consisting of at least two cut teeth wheels to exchange of torque
  3. a device to exchange of torque (not necessary with cut teeth wheel, e.g., magnetic)
  4. a device to exchange of torque or other force (Danish "gear" article and English "Mechanical advantage device" at mechanical advantage device (Q14861286) seems to be about this).

@User:Fnielsen I improved the situation a bit. Now this one is about a single wheel only. But there is much left to do about various "special" wheels with teeth, other mechanical parts with teeth, other types of "gears" / "devices to exchange torque", and more. The English word "gear" sucks. "Kugghjul" in Swedish. Taylor 49 (talk) 02:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
