Geared up Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

AR-HICK: With the passing of Finton, I have decide to do away with this cache.
I went today to check on it and just decided to take it with me. Not that I the container could not be replaced, but the main reason for my placing this cache is now gone and I don't know what will happen to this location. It is with great sorrow that I am archiving this cache, I have much fun with it and visiting with Finton also.

Thanks to all who found it and if you email me the solved coordinates, I will make arrangements for you to sign the log to claim the find.

Geocache Description:

The posted coords are a few miles from the actual cache and I
thought it would be a fitting place for the name. You are looking
for a 35mm film can hidden in a unique way. Daytime Only

???? ????s are the simplest and most common type of ????. Their general form is a cylinder or disk. The teeth project radially, and with these ???? ????s, the leading edges of the teeth are aligned parallel to the axis of rotation. These ????s can only mesh correctly if they are fitted to parallel axles

To the puzzle, you will need to check ???? ???? and that is how I arrived at the numbers.


What am I - External ???? ????. Fill in the question marks with
letters.

North: I have 5 teeth, pressure angle 20 degrees equals 0X.XXX
minus 0.181


West: I have 31 teeth, pressure angle 25 degrees equals XX.XXX
minus 2.274


Coordinates in this format.

North 35 0X.XXX

West 092 XX.XXX


If you need help just e-mail and I will do my best to help you with it.
Once you work the puzzle to find the coordinates you are half way there. If you are easily embarrassed or not willing to expand your view of what others see in the world, don’t look for this cache. It can be a lovely walk and take a little extra time to check everything out. The owner has given me permission and helped me place this cache. I think it blends in very well.
Park in the driveway, it is a short walk.


Writing a good log will not make you a better cacher, but it might give you more respect from other cachers.

If you Copy and Paste your logs it will be deleted. I ask that you to write a log telling a little about your adventure while hunting this cache. Due to a recent problem with a cacher not logging my cache and claiming it as a find, I am requiring this from everyone.If you think that Copy and Paste Logging is appropriate don’t hunt my caches. I own these caches and I have the right to delete your log for any reason. I think writing a good log is my payment for placing a cache for you to find. Lets both get smileys and write a little something on your log.
