Your right Mike,
I suppose I should clarify the term "labeled" in reference to the gears.
Legacy gave them a letter designation that corresponds with their chart. How
easy would it have been to just say use the 2" or 3" pitch gear with the pitch
engraved or stamped into the gear. Then when you go to use your other than
standard gear sets you could easily do the math to know your pitch.

Hello All,
When Legacy came up with the idea of labeling the drive gears A-G and
used a decal on the headstock to match the gears, they really made selecting
spiral pitches easy. Before that point in time, the instructions included with
the machines referred to the gears by the number of teeth. Counting teeth is
not easy but it leads to some more interesting facts about your machine.
