// first 4 parameters, and let the rest be default values. Spur gears have straight teeth and
// mesh together on parallel shafts without creating any axial thrust. The teeth engage suddenly across their
// entire width, creating stress and noise. Helical gears have angled teeth and engage more gradually, so they
// run more smoothly and quietly, however they do produce thrust along the gear axis. This can be
// circumvented using herringbone or double helical gears, which have no axial thrust and also self-align.
// Helical gears can mesh along shafts that are not parallel, where the angle between the shafts is
// the sum of the helical angles of the two gears.
