Not a bearing.... in fact friction is the reason those bumps are on the
inside like that. They should have a more saw-toothed appearance than
they do.

I posted the source to povray.text.scene-files. I fixed it some, making
the metal texture a little more obvious and the inside groove a little
bit sharper.

No splines were used. The source code in povray.text.scene-files shows
how it was made (a lot simpler than using splines).

It does sort of resemble a lawn mower wheel.... but that isn't it. That
texture is actually a metal texture with a poor environment :(

hummm , an electric shaver blade ?
How do you manage to design the isosurface ? By reading the code I can not
imagine what it will look like ...
Great work.

I'd say it's some kind of ratcheting device for use where a ratchet with a
handle won't fit. By the way, when Graybeard used the word "spline", he was
using it in mechanic's terminology, not computer terminology.

Looks cool, whatever it is. It looks like a wheel of some sort, though I can't
work out what the grid pattern is for.

Judging by the image I posted, I'd be surprised if anyone could guess
it! I was a little overzealous with my isosurface usage, and my approach
at it was making a few things difficult to match.
Here's a more accurate representation of the object in question, this
time made with csg. It's much, much closer than the last attempt.
In real life it wouldn't look nearly this big, nor would it be this
clean (unless it was new). It's part of a *very* common object.

The wheel on either side of the striker on a cigarette lighter?

Bingo! It struck me as a funny shape because of how it hangs loosely on
the other gear. Supposedly it keeps small children from using lighters,
but I wonder just how much older a kid has to be in order to operate one
with this devce.... A child smart enough to use a normal lighter would
probably also be strong enough to apply the pressure needed to light it.
