// mate at a 90 degree angle because if it did, it's cone could not meet the center of the planar bevel gear.
// Subsection: Crown Gears (Face Gears)
// Crown gears, sometimes called Face Crown Gears or just Face Gears, are gears with teeth pointing straight up so
// the gear resembles a crown. This type of gear is not the same as a bevel gear with vertical teeth, which would mate
// to another bevel gear. A crown gear mates to a spur gear at a ninety degree angle. A feature of the crown gear assembly
// is that the spur gear can shift along its axis without affecting the mesh.
