ABSTRACT:
A drive assembly and method of forming the same wherein indexed and coworking gears are provided having improved accurate meshed engagement. The drive assembly includes a first conjugate pair of indexed coworking gears and a second conjugate pair of indexed coworking gears adapted to have meshing engagement with the first pair. The first pair defines an assembly wherein the gears are fixedly coaxially secured and the second pair defines an assembly wherein the gears are initially loosely secured with one of the gears being disposed in meshed relationship to one of the gears of the first assembly. The second gear assembly is then moved relative to the first gear assembly so as to cause the other gear thereof to find accurate meshed association with the other gear of the first assembly whereupon the gears of the second assembly are firmly secured to have maintained accurate meshed association with both gears of the first gear assembly.
