intersect the average lead (helix) at
start and end points of the lead

transverse pitches of a given flank
F
r
Pitch line run-out
Radial position difference of a
probe contacting all teeth at
measuring diameter (pitch
diameter). It combines tooth
eccentricity in relation to the datum
axis and the tooth spacing error.
