Hi Paul,

Maybe in a few words I can clarify the gear concept. You've said this in
different words before so if I'm too far offbase please edit.

The gears inside the rotary are a means of  "timing"  the position of
the rotor. Very much akin to the way   "timing"  gears ( or chains or
cog belts )  "Time"  the position of the CAMshaft in an auto
engine.  *** POWER is not transmitted in either case, only the exact
POSITION is determined.***  This  "timing"  is necessary to put the
piston engine valves in the proper place at the proper time, in the
rotary this  "timing"  is necessary to put the rotor in the proper place
at the proper time.

Concept any clearer or did I muddy the waters even more.
Dave

Excellent. Much better than I could have put it. Very concise.
