  2. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Gear inches is one way of measuring the gear ratio(s) of a bicycle, so that different gears and different bicycles can be compared in a consistent manner. Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent ( direct-drive ) gearing.

    Allen Johnson's Mopar Dodge Avenger Pro Stock. Pro stock is a class of drag racing featuring "factory hot rods".The class is often described as "all motor", due to the cars not using any form of forced induction such as turbocharging or supercharging, or other enhancements, like nitrous oxide, along with regulations governing the modifications allowed to the engines and the types of bodies used.

  4. Bicycle gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_gearing

    One standard option for the Brompton folding bicycle is to use a 3-speed hub gear (roughly a 30% difference between gear ratios) in combination with a 2-speed derailleur gear (roughly a 15% difference) to give 6 distinct gear ratios; this is an example of half-step gearing. Some Brompton suppliers offer a 2-speed chainring 'Mountain Drive' as ...

    Typical ratios would be 22/32/44 teeth as opposed to 28/38/48 or 24/36/46 teeth. These would be used with smaller cassettes (Generally cassettes are available with 11 tooth minimum gear sizes for compact chainsets while standard chainsets were designed for cassettes with a 13 or 14 tooth top gear), giving the same overall ratio.

    Profile of a spur gear Notation and numbering for an external gear Notation and numbering for an internal gear. The tooth surface (flank) forms the side of a gear tooth. [1] It is convenient to choose one face of the gear as the reference face and to mark it with the letter “I”. The other non-reference face might be termed face “II”.

    Notice that these family names do not give the exact shift ratios: the 2:1 shift ratio is in fact about 1.7 (Or 1.9 on the Dura Ace series up to 7400) rather than 2, and the native SRAM shift ratio is about 1.1. The family names of these standards are reversed by some in actuation ratio notation as opposed to that of the more common shift ratio.

    It was equipped with five direct friction plates. These automatics had lower first- and second-gear ratios, allowing the lower-powered engines to provide better acceleration without sacrificing highway fuel economy. They were frequently used today in drag racing. Uses: 1975-1980 360 (2-bbl) 1984-1989 318 (4-bbl Police)

  9. Chain drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_drive

    The gear is turned, and this pulls the chain putting mechanical force into the system. Another type of drive chain is the Morse chain, invented by the Morse Chain Company of Ithaca, New York, United States. This has inverted teeth. [2] Sometimes the power is output by simply rotating the chain, which can be used to lift or drag objects.
