Remarks @ AP
At low spindle speeds the diameter range is wide hence needs to
add more speed steps between calculated values.
At high spindle speeds, the diameter range is very narrow and hence some of the
speed steps are redundant.
GP Geometric progression
Geometric Progression Ratio
Speed Ratio
Range Ratio
Progression ratio/ Speed ratio
Geometric progression (also inaccurately known as a geometric
series) is a sequence of speeds such that the ratio of any two
successive speeds of the sequence is a constant called the Geometric
progression ratio (speed ratio) of the sequence.
Range ratio
It ratio of maximum and minimum speed

Effect of GP ratio
Definition of preferred number/speed series
In gearbox design a set of preferred step ratio or preferred
numbers is used to obtain the series of output speed of
gearbox. The preferred step ratio is mentioned as basic series
named as R5, R10,R20,R40 and R80. Each basic series has a
specific step ratio. R [Charles Renard]

Structural Formula
The maximum number of speed that can be obtained from
two shafts is three. Hence its necessary to
use intermediate shafts between the input shaft and output
shaft. The structural formula helps to arrive the number of
stages and required gears to obtain the desired speeds.
