I run a Barber Coleman 16-16 it has a 15 machine constant and this is what I do.
Let us say my gear lead is 64.955806
You divide the lead by the machine constant.
My machine has a 15 constant
So 15/64.955806 = .230926779
.230926779 = 41/63 X 22/62 four gear lead setup.
Therefore, if you take your machine constant / your lead gear set (.94440) you will get your lead of the gear.
Machine constant / .94440 = lead of gear
