Early transmissions included
the right-angle drives and
other gearing in windmills,
horse-powered devices, and
steam engines, in support of
pumping, milling, and
hoisting. Most modern
gearboxes either reduce an
unsuitable high speed and
low torque of the prime mover
output shaft to a more usable
lower speed with higher
torque, or do the opposite
and provide a mechanical
advantage (i.e increase in
torque) to allow higher forces
to be generated. Some of the
simplest gearboxes merely
change the physical direction
in which power is transmitted.
Many typical automobile
transmissions include the
ability to select one of several
different gear ratios. In this
case, most of the gear ratios
(simply called "gears") are
used to slow down the output
speed of the engine and
increase torque. However,
the highest gears may be
"overdrive" types that
increase the output speed.
