1. The input shaft gives the motion of the gear train; known as the drive. Then the output shaft receives the motion, being the driven gear.
2. The drive gear is the one with the handle on the left and the driven is the one to the right.
3. The speed for gear train A remains constant.
4. The speed for gear train B decreases.
5. The torque for gear train A remains constant.
6. The torque for gear train B increases.
7. The gear ratio for gear train A is 1:1.
8. The gear ratio for gear train B is 1:2.
9. The flow of the power of the gear trains are reversible.
10. The gears move in the opposite direction.
11. This mechanism may be used in bicycles and in modern day machines.
