For the engineers/technicians (or anyone else knowledgeable), do you know whether the reduction gears in a typical box are spur or helical? I work in the machine-tool industry, and the sturdiest transmissions seem to all use spur gears with ground teeth. Oil changes show barely perceptible sediment. That AW statement says "super finishing of gears", so perhaps that means ground teeth.
