side rod

More characters were modelled than previously, and some had moving side rods.

This motion turns the side rods which moves the wheels.

The second axle on each truck is driven by a side rod.

In common with the linked driving wheels they also have their own portion of the side rod weight.

It was unusual in that its driving wheels were not connected by side rods.

In early models, the second axle on each truck was driven with side rods.

These resembled the classical light locomotive very closely, but had a side rod drive.

Each side rod comes with one base weight and one cap weight.

The 4-cylinder engines were coupled to the driving wheels through a jackshaft and side rods.

There is additional gearing to a jackshaft which drives the wheels through side rods.

Most locos have the connecting rod on the outside of the side rod.

Each axle was driven by a separate bevel gear, with no side rods.

The unbalance in the remaining driving wheels is caused by a crankpin and side rod weight.

Darrell Holthusen is the "side rod," or crew foreman.

Commencing in February 1963, the problem was rectified by fitting heavier duty side rods.

The two end-most side rods were shorter than the two attached to the slider.

The side rods and cab on No. 7 were removed, but the larger boiler and cylinders remain.

It had a three speed gearbox driving all three axles by a jackshaft and side rods.

A coupling rod or side rod connects the driving wheels of a locomotive.

Side rods connected to the slit coupling rod transmitted the force to the outer drive-wheels.

The former used a geared drive to the first driving axle, the latter used side rods for this linkage.

Side rods were polished steel.

Unlike the later and somewhat similar Heisler design, there were no side rods on the trucks and all gearing was open, exposed to the elements.

A direct-drive low speed Stirling cycle engine could directly drive locomotive wheels (through side rods or gears).

The exhaust from the diesel engine powered the gas turbine which drove the wheels through reduction gearing, jack shaft and side rods.
