       Jackshafts and layshafts

       Morning team
       Could someone talk to me about jackshafts or layshafts please?
       I'd like to use a jackshaft on the next build to give me options
       on gearing.  I'm running 420 chain.
       These are my questions:
       1.  What size jackshaft should I use?
       2.  Can I buy these off the shelf?
       3.  I was thinking of using a 10t (TAV) to 30t (jackshaft), then
       10t (jackshaft) to 35t on the axle...am I on the right track for
       a good final ratio of about 1:10 ish?
       4.  Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I can buy the
       sprockets, as I want to make sure I'm getting the right gear?
       No pun intended.
       Any help will be greatly appreciated.
       Thank you in advance.
       Tim
