Gear Technology covers all aspects of the gear industry, including specification, design, manufacturing, processing, inspection, purchase and end use. We've always approached our editorial coverage from an educational point of view. Our articles help our readers better understand the products, processes, techniques and technologies used in the gear industry. Our articles provide the kind of in-depth information necessary to help them do their jobs better.

TECHNICAL ARTICLES
With some of the industry's most prominent authors, Gear Technology offers articles for the detail-minded gear engineer and manufacturing professional. We cover cutting-edge research as well as more hands-on, practical articles. All of our technical articles undergo an extensive review procedure to ensure quality and usefulness to the gear industry. Articles are analyzed by a team of in-house editors as well as renowned gear technical experts, including our regular technical editors: Bob Errichello, Don McVittie, Robert E. Smith and Dan Thurman. Submissions are welcome, but please read our writers guidellines for technical articles before submitting.

FEATURE ARTICLES
Our staff-written pieces explore some of the most interesting topics in the gear industry with the depth and insight that only Gear Technology can provide. Very often, these articles focus on a particular theme and include in-depth interviews with leaders in the industry. See our editorial calendar for the feature topics we've scheduled for 2005. Additional features will also appear throughout the year.

COLUMNS
Experts around the industry provide their insight and knowledge on various topics. These articles tend to be shorter and less technical than our regular technical articles, but they also are extremely practical and educational.

NEWS
Gear Technology has significantly expanded the news sections for 2005. Each section will present more items and more in-depth coverage of important items throughout the year.

Product News provides extensive coverage of any product that can be used in the design, manufacturing, processing, inspection or use of gears or gear drives, as well as new gear and gear drive products in the marketplace. Several of the more significant items are expanded upon each issue. We interview people at the companies manufacturing the products and the companies using them to show our readers not just what products are available, but who is using them and how they're being used.

Industry News informs readers about mergers, promotions, trends, statistics, expansions, business opportunities and other information relevant to the gear industry. Like our product news, we expand on the more significant items to really get into the details and make sure our readers are informed about what matters most in the gear industry.

The Events section includes coverage of both upcoming and past events, including trade shows, educational seminars and other events that readers of Gear Technology would be interested in. We interview the companies involved and give the readers a good idea if a particular event is for them. The Events section also includes our popular Technical Calendar, which includes short listings of upcoming events, along with contact information.

In addition to appearing in Gear Technology, news items also appear on our websites. In fact, the news coverage on www.geartechnology.com and www.powertransmission.com is updated frequently and includes many items that don't appear in Gear Technology.

ADDENDUM
The lightest section of our magazine, Addendum is a mixture of gear trivia, history and other quirky information of interest to gear readers. Addendum has covered such topics as a gear-operated bicycle to a gear made entirely of chocolate, to the perfect holiday gift for the gear enthusiast.
