Abstract
A method for providing error compensation in a double flank functional gear testing apparatus is disclosed in which a total composite signal is generated and errors due to master gears, master gear spindles, arbors, and work gear holding devices are eliminated from the total composite signal, such that the error due to a work or precision setting master gear is distilled.
