In the UK at least, a cog is just another name for a gear. eg 'you can hear the cogs turning', or 'you are the rusty cog in the machine'.

I got it: Tandwiel :)

Thanks.

ChadTower:

Around here a gear is more of a compound assembly - a multipart mechanism made up of stuff like shafts and cogs.

Looked it up and I guess it can be both the tooth or the whole gear. Confusing:

cog 1 (kg, kôg)
n.
1. One of a series of teeth, as on the rim of a wheel or gear, whose engagement transmits successive motive force to a corresponding wheel or gear.
2. A cogwheel.
3. A subordinate member of an organization who performs necessary but usually minor or routine functions.


Anyway ...
