A cog wheel was always referred to by that name, it being one of the smaller gear wheels that meshed with the bigger gear wheels.
Tha's ony bin an engineer for 10 years !, I started my apprenticeship at Lang Bridges in 1945, thats 65 years ago, smaller geared wheels were called cogs then, so its nowt new.
