2. Underdrive pulleys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdrive_pulleys

   Poorly engineered underdrive pulleys can cause unwanted side effects; this is due to not spinning the alternator, power steering, and/or air conditioning fast enough. This leads to low alternator voltage, weak or no power steering assist, and weak or no air conditioning effectiveness, especially at idle or low RPM. The most commonly seen result ...

3. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   The mechanical belt drive, using a pulley machine, was first mentioned in the text of the Dictionary of Local Expressions by the Han Dynasty philosopher, poet, and politician Yang Xiong (53–18 BC) in 15 BC, used for a quilling machine that wound silk fibres onto bobbins for weavers' shuttles.

4. Power steering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

   Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

5. Pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley

   A pulley is a wheel on an axle or shaft enabling a taut cable or belt passing over the wheel to move and change direction, or transfer power between itself and a shaft. A sheave or pulley wheel is a pulley using an axle supported by a frame or shell ( block ) to guide a cable or exert force.

6. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

   The differential pulley was invented in 1854 by Thomas Aldridge Weston from King's Norton, England. [2] The pulleys were manufactured in collaboration with Richard and George Tangye. According to Richard Tangye's autobiography, the Weston differential pulley evolved from the Chinese windlass, with an endless chain replacing the finite length of ...

7. Pull-rod suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pull-rod_suspension

   In a push-rod suspension system, however, the steering is controlled by ball joints found at the ends of the control arms, which allow for the wheel hubs, and the car to turn. [ 2 ] As a result of these factors, the push-rod layout is distinct from other suspension systems as, unlike others, it is able to be designed and assembled with ...
