The document discusses various gear drive systems and methods for changing speeds in all-gear drives, including slip gears, the sliding key method, tumbler gears, sliding type cluster gears, jaw clutches, and friction clutches. It provides details on how each system works, such as interchangeably mating gear pairs on slip gears, a sliding key engaging one gear of two constantly meshing gear sets on separate shafts for the sliding key method, and cluster gears moving along a shaft to engage different fixed gears.

Sliding Type Cluster Gears 5. Jaw Clutches 6. Friction Clutches Slip Gears The mating gear pair on two adjacent shafts are interchanged or replaced by another pair of gears. If all the gears have the same module, the condition for interchangeability- T1 + T2 = T3 + T4 = T5 + T6 etc. Sliding Key Method Two sets of gears on two shafts are constantly in mesh. One set is free to rotate on the shaft. Only one gear of the free set is engaged by a sliding key. Tumbler Gears A number of gears is placed on one shaft, which is at a fixed distance from the output shaft. Usually used for feed drives and known as Norton Gearbox. Sliding Type Cluster Gears A set of cluster gears is moved along a shaft to engage another set of gears (one gear of the cluster is engaged at a time). Jaw Clutches
Speed can be changed by
engaging and disengaging clutches with levers. Friction Clutches
