This was connected to the worm gear final drive by a transmission shaft.

Each transmission shaft incorporated a clutch to allow the power sections to be run independently.

A new divided transmission shaft eased potential vibration problems.

The articulation was controlled by transmission shafts.

The shaft which it holds is the main Torque transmission shaft and supplies power to move the vehicle.

Two transmission shafts transferred the power from the gear-box to propeller gear-boxes mounted on the wing struts.

This belonged to the uppermost end of the main vertical transmission shaft, incorporating right angle gears and oblique gears connected by a short idling shaft.

Development of the Omega helicopter was incremental with progressively more powerful engines, stronger structure and more reliable dynamic components, such as gearboxes and transmission shafts.

The use of a motor driving a wheel directly eliminates the conventional mechanical transmission elements: gearbox, transmission shafts and differential, and can sometimes eliminate flexible couplings.

The accident was caused by a fatigue crack in a spline of a power transmission shaft connector, which ultimately caused the power transmission shaft to fail.

Briefly, he hoped the drive shaft had not been bent.

"But then the truck's drive shaft broke and we had to tow it all out."

The drive shaft passed through a hole in the "x" frame.

The boat has both hybrid and diesel power working on the same drive shaft.

Each wheel is secured to the drive shaft with a single nut.

This system was necessary due to the way the engine sat on a platform above the drive shaft.

The two crew members, the driver on the left, sat in the forward compartment, the drive shaft between them.
