This major work . . . should become the bible of the industry, and
its guidelines will serve the engineering body responsible for
present and future standards of gearing. . . . Recognized
nationally and internationally as one of the foremost contributors
to the advancement of gear design, Mr. Dudley . . . received the E.
P. Connell Award, which is the highest honor of the American Gear
Manufacturers Association.

Manufacturers Association
"…the only and the most comprehensive and updated reference source
book available in the meantime for gear practitioners. … of
practical interest for both for gear practitioners as well as for
gear theoreticians. ... recommended for university students, both
graduate and postgraduate."
