Hi everyone.
A Happy Easter to you all, and to your families.

Some time ago, I think in Model Engineering Workshop (or perhaps in ME) 
there was a short series on gear-cutting with a hob.    I have tried to use 
Colin Usher's helpful index, but am very stupid when it comes to Zip, 
spreadsheets etc - put it down to my great age!    If any of you have a 
ready access to this index, please give me the numbers of the MEW magazines 
which contain this information.

Arc Euro have a Module 1 hob at a modest price (modest, when compared to a 
set of cutters!) and I have acquired a number of Module 1 change wheels, 
which would suit my little lathe now under construction.    If I was able to 
use the hob, I could complete the set.    I have never used one, or seen one 
in action, and I hope that this article will reveal all.    My existing 
ancient textbooks only refer to using the usual 8 involute gear cutters.

Thanks for your kind help.

Cheers!   Hubert
