Somewhere I got the idea some Citroen had a sort of double helical bevel gear. Maybe I am dreaming but irecall seeing a set in a wreckers office 55 years ago.
The gears of the cruiser Belfast in the Thames can be seen. Because of their speed cruisers transmit very high power.

Apart from things like steering gears (for the Titanic) Citroen also used herringbone pattern gears for the crownwheel and pinion of his early cars up to about 1924 I think, Being Dutch he got the idea of the herringbone gear pattern from the wooden gears in windmills. His innovation was to figure a way to make them in metal.
