The 14-speed Rohloff Speedhub hub gear, introduced in 1998, has a range exceeding 5 to 1, and is thus comparable in range to 24, 27 and 30-speed derailleur systems (with 3×8, 3×9 and 3×10 cogs front and rear), since the latter have three overlapping ranges often with only about 14 distinct gears. As there is no overlap with the Speedhub, the ...

Other applications of semi-automatic transmissions on motorcycles include the Yamaha FJR1300AE sport-touring motorcycle, with the YCCS automatic clutch system, Honda's range of 2- and 3-speed Hondamatic semi-automatic transmissions, used on various motorcycles throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and the three-wheeled BRP Can-Am Spyder Roadster ...
10-speed bicycle cassette. On a bicycle, the cassette or cluster [1] is the set of multiple sprockets that attaches to the hub on the rear wheel. A cogset works with a rear derailleur to provide multiple gear ratios to the rider. Cassettes come in two varieties, freewheels or cassettes, of which cassettes are a newer development. Although ...
Threaded tape of an open Compact Cassette in the tape drive. The capstan is a rotating spindle used to move recording tape through the mechanism of a tape recorder.The tape is threaded between the capstan and one or more rubber-covered wheels, called pinch rollers, which press against the capstan, thus providing friction necessary for the capstan to pull the tape.

Basically there are two types of motor vehicle transmissions: Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change using a manually operated clutch; Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load
Clutch control is the controlling of the speed of a manual transmission vehicle by partially engaging the clutch plate, using the clutch pedal instead of (or in conjunction with) the accelerator pedal.
