Gearbox

When a bicyclist wants to race on a level track, he gears up his drive wheel with a larger sprocket, so that one revolution of the crank takes him further. Yet if he takes his wheel, with this large sprocket on the pedal shaft, out on the road where there are hills, he must get off and walk, or exert an extra lot of power.

The same principle applies to the automobile. For this reason the automobile is provided with four or five changes of gears. These gears are contained in a gearbox usually placed at the back of the clutch.

The principle, upon which all change-speed gears work, is the fact that when two gear-wheels or spur-gears are meshed together, the larger wheel turns more slowly than the smaller.

In the gear-box there are two shafts – the upper one coming from the engine through the clutch, and the lower one continuing to the back axle. Each shaft is fitted with four or five gear wheels of different size.

In order to vary the speed of the car, it is only necessary to slide the gear wheels along the lower shaft until the correct two gears come into mesh to form the gearing required.

Driver, vehicle, and road

Transportation is a system consisting essentially of three components: driver, vehicle, and road. If any one of these components fails, the whole system would fail, and conditions of hazards would be created on the road.

To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, it is necessary that all of these three components should function in a well coordinated manner.

Driver. Studies have shown that 86% of the serious accidents are caused by drivers.

Vehicle. This component also plays a vital part in determining safety on roads. An unsafe vehicle is a source of constant danger in a road transportation system.

Road. To ensure maximum safety for the transportation system, it is necessary to plan and design highways on sound engineering techniques.
