It's been a while writing anything substantial, so I went with the layout that was familiar to me and that is one of a scholarly paper. I'll have to slice it into more discrete chapters or sections once I have amassed enough text.

Definitely. I am trying to figure out a way for the material to be self-referential (I had a discrete math book back in the day that pulled it off and it was one of the best text books I've ever encountered.) But I think I'm going to have to rely upon a glossary as you suggest.

@trainfanM - Agreed on the detail of the research.

I guess I don't have much issue with wheels. I just kind of "make them happen". What difficulties do you encounter with them? I think the toughest ones I did were for a 1/6 1910 Harley.
