Syntax

[SGfin,TL,f,SGR]=SGgearchain([m,z,a,w,"stack","rack","crank"])

Input Parameter

m: [m h r hr] of gear; default is [1 5 1.25 0]
z: array of number of teeth
a: [relative angle change for next gear]
w: optional overall angle of chain; default is not defined;
"stack": if used the gears are vertically stacked to a gear box
"rack": rack type; default is 'bar'; see CPLrack4PL
"crank": if used, the first gear is covered

Output Parameter

SGfin: cell list of gears
TL: cell list of Base frame
f: cell list of ratio
SGR: SG of Rack
