A gear train apparatus including a gear and a cone disposed in contact with the gear. The cone includes a plurality of conic teeth, between which are a first plurality of spaces, and a plurality of scaling teeth, between which are a second plurality of spaces. The conic teeth are arranged about the cone to form a plurality of conic rings, which disposed about a plurality of nascention circles. The rings are dimensioned to mate with the teeth of the gear such that the conic teeth neutralize a change in surface speed of the cone along the conic teeth. The scaling teeth form at least one acceleration channel and at least one deceleration channel extending from each of the conic rings and intercepting an adjacent conic ring, with each acceleration channel and the deceleration channel being disposed along a nascention offset line between nascention circles of adjacent conic rings.
