    The document discusses different types of gear trains including simple, compound, reverted, and epicyclic gear trains. It provides an example of an epicyclic gear train, showing a sun gear, planet gears supported by a carrier, and an annular gear. The example illustrates how the planet gears turn at a ratio determined by the number of teeth in each gear when the carrier is held stationary and the sun gear is used as input.

    In this example, the carrier (green) is held stationary while the
    sun gear (yellow) is used as input. The planet gears (blue) turn
    in a ratio determined by the number of teeth in each gear.
    Here, the ratio is −24/16, or −3/2; each planet gear turns at 3/2
    the rate of the sun gear, in the opposite direction.
    This planetary gear train consists of a sun gear (yellow), planet gears (blue) supported
    by the carrier (green) and an annular gear (pink). The red marks show the relative
    displacement of the sun gear and carrier, when the carrier is rotated 45° clockwise and
    the annular gear is held fixed.
