Model of a Disengaging Gear for Paddle Wheels, Model of the disengagement of the crankshaft of a paddle wheel, on a floorboard. The pin of the crank falls into a slot of a head on the crank of the wheel shaft which, when turned to the correct position, releases the pin and thereby disengages the shaft. With every stroke, the pin of the stool then moves freely through the slot. Both axes can be moved with a crank. Scale 1: 5 (derived)., anonymous, 1841, wood (plant material), bronze (metal), h 25 cm × w cm × d 24 cm
