Required the number of teeth that a wheel of 16 inches diameter will contain of a 10 pitch.
16 X 10 = 160 teeth, and the circular pitch = .314 inch.
What must be the diameter of a wheel for a 9 pitch of 126 teeth ?
126 / 9 = 14 inches diameter, circular pitch .349 inch. Note. - The pitch is reckoned on the diameter of the wheel instead of the circumference, and designated wheels of 8 pitch, 12 pitch, etc.
