Model of a Disengaging Gear for Paddle Wheels, Model of the disengagement of the crankshaft of a paddle wheel, on a floorboard. Crankshaft and wheelshaft are connected by a connecting piece, a so-called tug or turntable, which allows some impurity in the alignment of the shafts. The tug can be dismantled and the part on the wheel axis rotated a quarter turn, so that the crank pin is released and the crank can turn with the crank pin unhindered. A loose tug is attached separately. Scale 1:10 (derived)., Hinderk H. Hesse, D. van den Bosch, Netherlands, 1842, wood (plant material), brass (alloy),
