Hence the Citroen logo. Andre Citroen started out manufacturing herringbone gears

Is putting your hand on moving gears supposed to be anxiety inducing? Because it is.

Helical gears have relatively high friction losses, which is why straight-toothed gears are used in race cars.

Not as good at transmitting power as straight cut gears. Hence why many race cars use straight cut. Straight cut is noisy though. In most cars your reverse gear is straight cut hence the whine when you go fast in reverse.

it's called chevron shape, it was invented by André CITROËN, hence the logo of the company

They run smoother, quieter, and cooler than straight cut gears.

Just difficult to machine? There’s got to be a downside.
