Tie one end of a piece of lintless 1/8 inch cord around a 1/8 inch round pieceof wood (or soft
metal stock). Place the wood between the teeth of gear, then wrap the cord around the periphery
of the gear several times. Attach the other end of the cord to a spring scale. Maintain a straight,
steady pull on the scale, 90 to the axis of the hub, and note the pull, in pounds and ounces,
required to start the gear rotating. Make several checks to obtain an average reading. If the pull
is within 1 1/4 lb. minimum to 6 lbs. 12 ounces maximum and does not fluctuate more than 2
lbs. 11 ounces, the idler gear and bearing assembly are satisfactory for use.
