spur gearing

noun

First recorded in 1835–45

In the majority of American vehicles the motion of the motor is transmitted to the wheels by means of spur gearing.

The most simple mechanism for a gasoline vehicle employing spur gearing exclusively is shown in diagrammatic form in Fig.3.

The power is obtained by means of a pair of pumps run through spur-gearing by the belt pulleys shown.

The motion of the crank-shafts was communicated to the separate axles of the driving-wheels by spur-gearing with two speeds.

Two speeds were obtained by means of spur gearing between the crank shaft and the counter shaft.
