Oh hey, that big DH was already on the table... I wasn't very clear. Heavy. Also wasn't clear that these aren't spiral teeth, they're just cut straight across at an offset that allows intersecting shafts to clear each other.. The best info on them has been Kozo Hirokoa's Climax, but so thorough and complex are his instructions. The regular bevels described in that gear book are no more complicated than making spur gears.
The big news here is that the missus informed me that she ordered the gear book and I was all wet about the price. $39.95 at Hastings.
Here is a drawing of the offset bevels from another book - Handbook for Machinists, 1915. The offset is only in the gear; the pinion has straight teeth.
