2. Whippletree (mechanism) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whippletree_(mechanism)

   It is also referred to as an equalizer, leader bar, or double tree. It consists of a bar pivoted at or near the centre, with force applied from one direction to the pivot and from the other direction to the tips. Several whippletrees may be used in series to distribute the force further, such as to simulate pressure over an area as when ...

3. Hitchin system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitchin_system

   (The Garnier system is the classical limit of the Gaudin model. In turn, the Schlesinger equations are the classical limit of the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations). Almost all integrable systems of classical mechanics can be obtained as particular cases of the Hitchin system or their common generalization defined by Bottacin and Markman in 1994.

4. Equalising beam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalising_beam

   On steam locomotives, the beam is connected at each end to a spring on an axle or to the end of another equalising beam (usually via a vertical spring hanger) to distribute the locomotive's weight between two or more axles. An equalising system links not only the driving-wheel axles but also the trailing and/or leading truck axle(s).

5. Weight distribution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weight_distribution

   Weight distribution is the apportioning of weight within a vehicle, especially cars, airplanes, and trains. Typically, it is written in the form x/y, where x is the ...

6. Tow hitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tow_hitch

   A weight-distributing hitch is a "load leveling" hitch. It is a hitch setup mounted on the tow vehicle that uses spring bars and chains under tension to distribute part of the trailer's hitch weight from the towing vehicle's rear axle to the towing vehicle's front axle and to the trailer's axle(s). It can help reduce trailer sway and hop.

7. Three-point hitch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_hitch

   The primary benefit of the three-point hitch system is to transfer the weight and resistance of an implement to the drive wheels of the tractor. This gives the tractor more usable traction than it would otherwise have, given the same power , weight , and fuel consumption.
