During the brief time before this, however, the males are still sexually potent and some of them either remain on standby to sire replacement clutches ( for female Mallards that have lost or abandoned their previous clutch ) or forcibly mate with females that appear to be isolated or unattached regardless of their species and whether or not they have a brood of ducklings.

The earlier bloodreds tend to have large clutches of smaller than average eggs that produce hard to feed offspring, though out-crossing with amelanistic and anerythristic corn snake hatchlings tend to be larger with fewer feeding problems.

Second broods have been recorded, though they are extremely rare in Britain ; most are replacement clutches.

Second broods tend to have smaller clutches.

This category includes helical gear limited-slip differentials and clutch, cone ( an alternative type of clutch ) where the engagement force of the clutch is a function of the input torque applied to the differential ( as the engine applies more torque the clutches grip harder and Trq < sub > d </ sub > increases ).

Transmissions without synchronizers, known as " crash boxes ", require double-clutching for each shift, ( which can lead to repetitive motion injuries ), or a technique known colloquially as " floating ", a method of changing gears which doesn't use the clutch, except for starts and stops, due to the physical effort of double clutching, especially with non power assisted clutches, faster shifts, and less clutch wear.

Better transmissions with wider ranges, better clutches and much better engine performance made pedals obsolete on most motorcycles by 1918 but the pedals on mopeds remained valuable for their original purposes as late as the 1990s.
