	Rack and Pinion
		The rack and pinion is used to convert between rotary and linear motion.
		Rack and pinions are commonly used in the steering system of cars to convert the rotary motion of the steering wheel to the side to side motion in the wheels.
		In the rack and pinion railway a central rack between the two rails engages with a pinion on the engine allowing the train to be pulled up very steep slopes.

	Rack and pinion gear stack mold control - Patent 4718845
		According to the present invention the rack and pinion gear arrangement comprises pinion gear means located at the centre mold part and including a drive gear and first and second follower gears driven off the drive gear.
		According to the arrangement shown the three pinion gears are aligned along their centre axii and the two follower gears are of the same diameter with identical teeth configuration for simultaneous and corresponding opening of the two outside mold sections.
		By using three pinion gears and by offsetting the follower gears to the side of the drive gear away from the free end of the first and second racks the effective length of the racks for contact with the pinion gear drive is increased thereby allowing increased opening of the two outside mold parts.

	ATLANTA Rack & Pinion Drives
		Rack and pinions are typically selected based on the peak cycle forces, which usually happen during accelerations and decelerations.
		Backlash is the amount of clearance between the rack and pinion tooth flanks, and will depend on the type of rack selected and alignment accuracy between the rack and pinion.
		Optional integral pinion shafts are also available to mount directly to hollow output shaft.

	Rack & Pinion Steering - Steering Cars
		A rack-and-pinion gearset is enclosed in a metal tube, with each end of the rack protruding from the tube.
		The pinion gear is attached to the steering shaft.
		This makes the car respond quickly when starting a turn (the rack is near the center), and also reduces effort near the wheel's turning limits.

	Rack & Pinion Steering
		Rack and pinion steering has been around for quite awhile and remains the most common type of steering system in todays cars and minivans.
		There are four basic types of rack mounts: the "spike" mount, the "cradle" mount, a cradle mount with a "puzzle lock" and a cradle mount with a locking tab.
		The GM variable ratio racks can be identified by letters stamped into the pinion dust cover, by inspecting the teeth on the rack itself, or by counting how many turns of the steering wheel it takes to go from lock-to-lock.

		This crossmember is wider where it angles upward to bolt to the frame than the original crossmember causing the interference with the stock steering setup.
		There will be holes in these mounting tabs for the big bolts to go through that mount the rack to the car, as seen in the picture of the rack.

	Rack and pinion steering device patent invention
		[0002] The present invention relates in general to rack and pinion steering devices for wheeled motor vehicles, and more particularly to the steering devices of a type that has such an arrangement as to stable and assure the engagement between a pinion shaft and a rack bar.
		That is, the cylindrical rack retainer is arranged to push the projected portion to bias the rack bar toward the pinion shaft.
		Due to the cylindrical shape of the rack retainer and rotatable arrangement of the same, a sliding resistance produced between the rack bar and the rack retainer under movement of the rack back is minimized.

	Adjusting Slack in Rack-and-Pinion Steering
		As the steering wheel is turned, the rack and pinion work together to shift the steering linkage and the wheels together either to the left or right at the constantly changing whim of the driver, or errant squirrel.
		The rack also has teeth like a gear, except the teeth run along the length of the rack, machined into the shaft that is the rack itself.
		Inspecting the boots, tie rods, and the steering rack for excessive wear is a safe bet when it comes time to adjust the steering rack.

		Conversion of an early model Mustang to Rack and Pinion Steering.
		There was a 8 week back order period, (due to the kits being so popular), and the rack was shipped at the end of May. As these kits are expensive, I ordered only the rack kit and not the optional power steering pump kit.
