Both clutch and flywheel are enclosed in a conical bellhousing, which ( in a rear-wheel drive car ) usually forms the main mounting for the gearbox.

The gearbox transfers power from the main shaft of the engine to an oil-cooled generator for electrical power.

In single-engine aircraft such as the A-7 Corsair II and F-16 Fighting Falcon, the JFS power section is always connected to the main engine through the engine's accessory gearbox.

The transmission of the T-26 consisted of single-disk main dry clutch, a gearbox with five gears in the front part of the vehicle, steering clutches, final drives and band brakes.

Helicopter noise is aerodynamically induced noise from the main and tail rotors and mechanically induced noise from the main gearbox and various transmission chains.

Mechanically, the FJ40 was given a new, 3. 9 L F engine and the Land Cruiser finally received low-range gearing, but continued the three speed main gearbox.

Potential problems with Yan lifts began to surface as early as 1985, when the upper bullwheel on the Teller lift at Keystone Ski Resort in Colorado disconnected from the main gearbox shaft.

The service brake is located on the driveshaft beside the main drive, before the gearbox.

Thus the manual transmission requires very little engine power to function, with the main power consumption due to drag from the gear train being immersed in the lubricating oil of the gearbox.

The main differences from the European model were the very short gearing for the manual gearbox ( the only transmission available ) and the lack of soundproofing, which was gradually removed each year since 2000 as a way to cut down costs, following the practice of other Brazilian car makers at the time.

In the era of front-engine, rear-wheel drive layouts, the device for achieving an overdrive transmission was usually a small separate gearbox, attached to the rear of the main gearbox and controlled by its own shift lever or electrical actuation button.

Although adding the cruising gear to the main gearbox was possible, it was generally simpler to add a separate two-gear overdrive system to the existing gearbox.

A few of the main advantages by applying AMB's in the driver as well as in the compressor ( compared to the traditional configuration with a gearbox, plain bearings and a gasturbine-driver ) is a relative simple system with a very wide operating envelope, high efficiencies ( particularly at partial load ) and also, as done in the Groningen field, to install the full installation outdoors ( no large compressor building needed ).

The space could also be used for mounting equipment such as a generator or pump powered by the vehicle's Power Take Off ( PTO ) system from the main gearbox, which was under the seats ;

Some include spring loading to provide some small torque so that with little or no input torque ( trailing throttle / gearbox in neutral / main clutch depressed ) the drive wheels are minimally coupled.

The main ones were a 5-speed manual gearbox, power assisted disc brakes, and a roof height extension to accommodate taller South Africans.

It was subsequently realized that for a cost no more than developing a new five-speed transmission, this shaft could be modified as a separate two-speed gearbox controlled by a secondary shift lever mounted alongside the main lever inside the cabin.

The following year the upper bullwheel disconnected from the main gearbox shaft.

The new car introduced a range of additions and advantages over the Pobeda ; in addition to being bigger, it had single panoramic forward and rear windscreens, a larger four-cylinder overhead-valve engine, central lubrication of the main chassis elements, hypoidal rear axle and automatic hydromechanical gearbox.

The mechanical transmission in the rear part of the hull consists of a change gear quadrant, a multiplate main clutch of metallic contact, a manual gearbox with five forward gears, two multiplate planetary steering clutches with band brakes and two in-line final drive groups.

| rotor diameter main =

| more general = Rotor systems: 4 blades on main rotor and tail rotor

Further aviation benefits of a Wankel engine include: ( i ) rotors cannot seize, since rotor casings expand more than rotors ; ( ii ) a Wankel is not susceptible to " shock-cooling " during descent ; ( iii ) a Wankel does not require an enriched mixture for cooling at high power ; ( iv ) having no reciprocating parts, it is less vulnerable to damage during " over-revving " ( the main rev-limit being the strength of the main bearings ).

The main difference between early water turbines and water wheels is a swirl component of the water which passes energy to a spinning rotor.

Less than a decade after the development of the first practical rotorcraft of any type with the autogyro, in the Soviet Union, Boris N. Yuriev and Alexei M. Cheremukhin, two aeronautical engineers working at the Tsentralniy Aerogidrodinamicheskiy Institut ( TsAGI,, ), constructed and flew the TsAGI 1-EA single rotor helicopter, which used an open tubing framework, a four blade main rotor, and twin sets of 1. 8-meter ( 6-foot ) diameter anti-torque rotors ; one set of two at the nose and one set of two at the tail.

* A100 Sikorsky S-55 ( actually a S-58 / SH-34 ; variably released with a 3-or 4-bladed main rotor in an orange USN scheme )

Incorrectly had a 3-bladed main rotor )

By 1910, continuing to advance vertical flight, Berliner experimented with the use of a vertically mounted tail rotor to counteract torque on his single main rotor design.

Of the two helicopters that did not make it to Desert One, one suffered avionics failures en route and returned to the USS Nimitz, and the other had an indication that one of its main rotor blades was fractured, and was abandoned in the desert en route to Desert One.

Helicopters are steered by cyclic control, changing the thrust vector of the main rotor ( s ), and by anti-torque control, usually provided by a tail rotor ( see helicopter flight controls ).

* The 1968 Los Angeles Airways Flight 417 lost one of its main rotor blades due to fatigue failure.

The controls ( stick and rudder ) for rotary wing aircraft ( helicopter or autogyro ) accomplish the same motions about the three axes of rotation, but manipulate the rotating flight controls ( main rotor disk and tail rotor disk ) in a completely different manner.

Synchronization to the camshaft is required as the rotor must turn at exactly half the speed of the main crankshaft in the 4-stroke cycle.

After a riot in Bristol in 1980, Powell asserted that the media were ignoring similar events in south London and Birmingham, and claimed: " Far less than the foreseeable New Commonwealth and Pakistan ethnic proportion would be sufficient to constitute a dominant political force in the United Kingdom able to extract from a government and the main parties terms calculated to render its influence still more impregnable.

Bristol, like its earlier London counterpart, includes several original buildings which have been praised for their architectural quirks, despite being unsuitable for the care of animals ; the ( former ) Giraffe House joins the main entrance lodge and the south gates on Guthrie Road as a Grade II listed building.

Rumours suggested that, while a newsroom ( and separate regional identity ) would be retained in the south west, the main Westcountry Live programme would move to a studio alongside The West Tonight at ITV West in Bristol ( akin to the Meridian and Thames Valley news services at Whiteley ).

Sturmey himself lost his life during the incident but his main partner John Heydon managed to returned to Bristol.

In 1845, when the Bristol and Exeter Railway ( B & ER ) had recently completed its main line, there were proposals for a number of different and competitive railway schemes in west Somerset.

The first battle of King Philip's War took place here in 1675 ; although Philip was eventually defeated, a variant of his Indian name, Metacomet, is now the name of a main road in Bristol: Metacom Avenue ( RI Route 136 ).
