What does it do?
The Encyclopedic 2 gear set continues the themes established in the Encyclopedic gear set of tiny pen holes, as well as T and G aligned pen holes. T and G alignment is two identical set of pen holes, one aligned with the gear tooth (T) and the other with the gap between the gear teeth (G). This feature is useful for maintaining symmetry in designs that roll around inside rings, and around the outside of stationary gears as part of the same composition.
This gear set also continues the inclusion of tiny pen holes (1 mm), in addition to the usual small pen holes (3mm), and some medium pen holes (6 mm).
