  2. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    Most screw threads are oriented so that when seen from above, the screw shaft moves away from the viewer (the screw is tightened) when turned in a clockwise direction. [ 21 ] [ 22 ] This is known as a right-handed ( RH ) thread, because it follows the right hand grip rule : when the fingers of the right hand are curled around the shaft in the ...

  3. Tuning mechanisms for stringed instruments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuning_mechanisms_for...

    Turning the peg or pin tightens or loosens the string. Some tuning pegs and pins are tapered, some threaded. Some tuning pegs are ornamented with shell, metal, or plastic inlays, beads (pips) or rings. Other tuning systems include screw-and-lever tuners, geared tuners, and the konso friction tuning system (using braided leather rings).

  4. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  5. Chasles' theorem (kinematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasles'_theorem_(kinematics)

    A screw axis.Mozzi–Chasles' theorem says that every Euclidean motion is a screw displacement along some screw axis.. In kinematics, Chasles' theorem, or Mozzi–Chasles' theorem, says that the most general rigid body displacement can be produced by a translation along a line (called its screw axis or Mozzi axis) followed (or preceded) by a rotation about an axis parallel to that line.

  6. Screw axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_axis

    A screw displacement (also screw operation or rotary translation) is the composition of a rotation by an angle φ about an axis (called the screw axis) with a translation by a distance d along this axis. A positive rotation direction usually means one that corresponds to the translation direction by the right-hand rule. This means that if the ...

    At the frog end, a screw adjuster tightens or loosens the hair. The frog may be decorated with two eyes made of shell, with or without surrounding metal rings. A flat slide usually made of ebony and shell covers the mortise where the hair is held by its wedge. A metal ferrule holds the hair-spreading wedge and the shell slide in place. Just ...
