      The double yokes are on both axles in the axle and housings:

      So, my alignment is already correct, but I still can’t imagine how the bar connecting the yoke to the gears in the gearbox can transform its rotation around around the own length axis into two rotations perpendicular to that within the yoke structure.

        No way…that’s impressive! I definitely appreciate the work this took but I would have left it as separate intersecting parts…You’ll be a topology wizard by the end of this project, if you aren’t already.

          You’ve reached a shocking amount of detail. Super impressive work!

            Me trying to read these drawings:

            To me it’s very acceptable to go leave it as you have it; it’s a “looks right, then it is right” situation. Even if it doesn’t make 100% mechanical sense, there’s little to no chance we will see it operating (even if rigged). We’ll likely see these parts in an exploded-view shot for the reel which still doesn’t matter in terms of 100% mechanical sense.

              This was the dog logo before the retopologizing with 10.220 vertices:

              So, after the necessary retopologizing, I only had to do a “Bridge Edge Loop” operation to the now 40 vertices of the outer circle (reduced from 336 vertices):

              The logo now has 3.639 vertices.

              The black parts alone count 2.303 vertices:

              The retopologized logo counted 2.494 vertices before connecting the separate parts:

                According to that drawing you are right @duerer!

                That would mean something like this (top view):

                and when the wheel turns:

                  And the three gears in the hub case also play a role that I don’t understand:

                  So, this is my proposal for the “Mystery Files” 😉.

                    Off topic: Just found this incredible machine 😁:

                      I like these machines where everything engages with each other as in this fun machine here.

                            I’m also very impressed with the amount of reference photos you’ve found for your axle and its various pieces. You’re quite the internet detective 🧐

                              As to those three gears: just Google ‘planetary gear’ and find for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARd-Om2VyiE

                              This is the Rumpelstiltskin effect: once you know the name of something/someone, you have power over it/him/her..

                              Or in modern day language: when you know what it’s called, you can Google it…

                                @theluthier you are absolutely right!

                                Look at the 4 repeating ‘humps’ of gravel and then look at the sky above them;)

                                  I’m sure that it’s real. Here’s a bigger image version:
