Still not getting it. Here's a rough schematic of the gears. The motor has 2. One on the shaft has 12 teeth and the other (which I have called a transfer gear) has 32 on one motor and 36 on the other. These connect to the worm and thence the main gear.
Everything else being the same, I'm struggling to understand why the number of teeth in the transfer gear can be ignored. What am I missing?
