Abstract: In a gear apparatus having intermeshing gear teeth, a lubrication system is disclosed for supplying lubricant between the intermeshing gear teeth. The lubrication system includes a gear defining an internal cavity which is connected to a source of the lubricant. The gear defines a plurality of spaced circumferentially disposed gear teeth. The plurality of gear teeth include a first gear tooth and a second gear tooth disposed adjacent to the first gear tooth. The gear defines a channel having a first and a second end. The first end of the channel is connected to the internal cavity. The second end of the channel is disposed between the first and second gear teeth. The arrangement is such that when the internal cavity is connected to the source of the lubricant, lubricant flows from the cavity through the first end of the channel to the second end of the channel for distributing the lubricant between the adjacent gear teeth so that the intermeshing gear teeth are lubricated.
