Hand hoists are chain operated. There are four types : spur geared, worm geared, differential, and pull-lift or lever... Worm-gear hoists transform about 1/3-l/2 the input energy to useful work. Offsetting this low efficiency is the locking characteristic of the worm drive. The load cannot turn the mechanism; consequently the load is at all times restrained from running away. 1, record 5, English, - worm%2Dgear%20hoist

Once the idea of rotary movement for grinding evolved, it was not long before the Romans invented the rotary mill, which quickly replaced the lever mill. Rotary mills, both animal driven and hand powered, came into use about 2, 300 years ago and represented a major advance in the development of milling machinery. The hand powered rotary mills, known as querns, superseded saddlestones in the home and were widely used until the end of the nineteenth century. To this day, the quern is a popular piece of household equipment in many developing nations where home milling is still practised. 1, record 28, English, - rotary%20mill

Peu de temps après que le principe de la mouture par mouvement rotatif ait été établi, les Romains inventèrent la meule rotative qui se substitua rapidement au modèle à levier. Les meules rotatives actionnées par la force animale ou à bras sont entrées en usage il y a près de 2 300 ans, et elles constituent un progrès technique remarquable en meunerie. Ces meules à bras ont remplacé les pierres en dos d'âne dans les foyers et leur usage s'est perpétué jusqu'à la fin du XIXe siècle. Aujourd'hui encore, elles constituent un élément de l'équipement ménager courant dans de nombreux pays en voie de développement où la mouture domestique est encore pratiquée. 1, record 28, French, - meule%20rotative

One of three kinds of rim or caliper brakes whose action originates from the side of the wheel(usually the left side), using one pivot point for two caliper arms. They are activated by means of a sheathed brake cable connected at one end to the brake lever mounted on the handlebar and at the other end to one of the caliper arms. When the hand lever is squeezed the cable retracts within its sheath, pulling the right caliper toward the rim and exerting an equal and opposite force on the cable sheath which, pressing downward, forces the left caliper toward the wheel rim, in such a way as to press rubber blocks against the rim simultaneously, stopping the bicycle through pressure and friction. 4, record 33, English, - sidepull%20brake
