The clutch is composed of three discs on a shaft. Two of the discs, the driven disc and floating disc, are connected to the engine crankshaft and turn when the engine is running. The third disc, or clutch hub with lining, is free to turn on the shaft and is connected to the transmission by means of the drive belt. This disc is between the other two discs, and is the one with the lining. It turns when the scooter moves. As the three discs are pressed together, they are forced to turn together, transmitting engine power to the transmission. 2, record 2, English, - clutch%20hub

It is called a serpentine belt because of the way it snakes around the various pulleys. Many vehicles now have a single serpentine drive belt because it eliminates the need for several separate V-belts. A spring-loader pulley maintains tension on the serpentine belt. This does away with the need to retension the belt when it is replaced. Serpentine belts generally last 25% to 50% longer than conventional V-belts. 2, record 4, English, - serpentine%20belt

This shovel is widely used for stone loading. Various models are available to meet particular conditions of track gage, mine car size or headroom available. The loading bucket, mounted on a rocker arm, is pushed forward into the pile of debris; the rocker arm is then actuated to swing the loaded bucket over the rocker carriage and to deliver the bucket load into a mine car or, in the case of one of the models, on to a variable-speed belt conveyor which in turn delivers into the mine car. The machines operate on a rail track and, swivelling on the carriage, can sweep across the width of the heading. On raising the bucket for discharge, the device is self-centering. 1, record 5, English, - Eimco%20rocker%20shovel

Sur le fond AB de (...) [la] caisse, peut rouler sans glissement un berceau ab solidaire du godet V; la longueur de la courbe ab est exactement la même que celle de la droite AB; de sorte que, par roulement, le berceau ab vient occuper la position opposée a[prime] b[prime]. La position du berceau au chargement est ab. Il suffit alors de faire avancer la chargeuse sur les rails pour que le godet se remplisse. Au contraire, a[prime] b[prime] correspond au remplissage de la berline dans laquelle le godet se vide. Le mouvement de roulement est obtenu par le treuil T sur lequel s'enroule une chaîne passant sur la poulie de contrainte p et aboutissant au berceau en C. Dans la position de déchargement, C occupe la position C[prime]. Le godet revient ensuite à sa position de chargement, la rotation du treuil étant inversée et la pesanteur aidant. 1, record 5, French, - chargeuse%20%C3%A0%20godet%20Eimco
