4. Sturmey-Archer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmey-Archer

   All Sturmey-Archer gear hubs use epicyclic (planetary) geartrains of varying complexity. The AW is the simplest, using one set of planetary gears with four planets. The AM uses three compound planets with differently sized cogs machined from a common shaft to engage the gear ring and sun gear separately, while the close-ratio three-speeds, and hubs with four or more speeds, use multiple ...

6. Three-speed bicycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-speed_bicycle

   Three-speed bicycle. The three-speed bicycle is a bicycle that uses internal hub gears at the rear wheel hub to provide three gear ratios. Three-speed hubs have been in use since the early 1900s. Though they are heavier than comparable derailleur systems, internal-gear hub systems generally last longer and require less maintenance.

7. Hub gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hub_gear

   Before epicyclic gears were used in bicycle hubs, they were used on tricycles. Patents for epicyclic hubs date from the mid-1880s. [5] [6] The first patent for a compact epicyclic hub gear was granted in 1895 to the American machinist Seward Thomas Johnson of Noblesville, Indiana, U.S.A. [7] This was a 2-speed but was not commercially successful.
