Abstract
An antibacklash gear system wherein a pair of gears mounted for limited movement therebetween are biased by a spring to move the teeth of the gears out of register, the spring serving as a link between two levers mounted on one of the gears. The position of one of the levers may be adjusted to vary the force applied to the other lever by the spring to thereby vary the force urging the gears to move relative to each other.
