I'm looking for some decent images of gears or cogs to use as a starting point for making some art work and I can't seem to find anything on the interweb.

I'm not looking for lego/meccano/bicycle components but decent diagrams of fairly simple gears with proper shaped teeth etc

anyone any suggestions?

thanks for looking Lintuk,
but I'm particularly not looking for bike stuff (otherwise I would have gone into the garage with me camera!!)

Might be a few pics here (http://auto.howstuffworks.com/gear2.htm) that could help. Or I could have a root around in the shop, I think I have a set of Chevy differential gears out there.

that is such a cool web site and explains things so well, it's one of my favourites

there is a nifty animation of how a gear box in a car works which I actually managed to understand

I thought the exact same thing as you when I saw the thread title.
