Shaft-driven bicycle — A shaft driven bicycle is a chainless bicycle that uses a driveshaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel. Shaft drives were introduced over a century ago, but were mostly supplanted by chain driven bicycles due to… … Wikipedia
Line of centers — The line of centers connects the centers of the pitch circles of two engaging gears; it is also the common perpendicular of the axes in crossed helical gears and wormgears. When one of the gears is a rack, the line of centers is perpendicular to… … Wikipedia
Crossing point — is the point of intersection of bevel gear axes; also the apparent point of intersection of the axes in hypoid gears, crossed helical gears, wormgears, and offset face gears, when projected to a plane parallel to both axes.1 Notes 1. ANSI/AGMA… … Wikipedia
