"I had this weird dream last night. I was stuck in a maze of diagonal stripes. I had only a file.
And I couldn't get out...I couldn't get out...."

Great, now how about a pic of the lathe, that turned the casting?   Wonder if this was from a factory or a large ship driveline?   Electrical generating power plant?  To think that was all laid out with a slide rule and machinist square.

Nothing like that at the power plant i work at.  We burn coal and gears like that wouldn't last long in our enviroment.

From the very large gear ratio, I would suspect it is for a gas turbine set...
