  2. Lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever

    The lever is operated by applying an input force F A at a point A located by the coordinate vector r A on the bar. The lever then exerts an output force F B at the point B located by r B. The rotation of the lever about the fulcrum P is defined by the rotation angle θ in radians. Archimedes lever, Engraving from Mechanics Magazine, published ...

    Engraving from an 1824 mechanics magazine illustrating Archimedes's statement that given a place to stand, with a lever a person could move the Earth. The idea of a simple machine originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the Archimedean simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw.

  7. Lever escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever_escapement

    Most of the lever itself is hidden, but both pallets are visible. The lever escapement, invented by the English clockmaker Thomas Mudge in 1754 (albeit first used in 1769), is a type of escapement that is used in almost all mechanical watches, as well as small mechanical non-pendulum clocks, alarm clocks, and kitchen timers.

  8. Compound lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_lever

    A lever arm uses the fulcrum to lift the load using and intensifying an applied force.In practice, conditions may prevent the use of a single lever to accomplish the desired result, [1] e.g., a restricted space, the inconvenient location of the point of delivery of the resultant force, or the prohibitive length of the lever arm needed.

  9. Reversing gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversing_gear

    The nut either operates on the reversing rod directly or through a lever, as above. The screw and nut may be cut with a double thread (aka two-start) and a coarse pitch to move the mechanism as quickly as possible. The wheel is fitted with a locking lever to prevent creep and there is an indicator to show the percentage of cutoff in use.
