Gearly's Clockwork Gadget Gearbox

[ShadowMage]

A very rough sketch of the inner workings of a device I might have Gearly end up inventing.

Each of the horizontal white rectangles is a gear, no teeth have been drawn yet, obviously.

The vertical rectangles are shafts which transfer power from gear-to-gear along the axle.

The Drive Gears do the actual work of the device, turning gears of other devices, pulling or pushing objects through the gears, holding items firmly in place, etc.

The 3 "Speed" Gear Box moves up and down switching between 3 different directs: forward, backward, and locked.

The Spring Box is wound by a key through the case of the device. Power from the spring travels along the gears up to the Drive Gears.

The Speed "Governer" prevents the spring from releasing all it's energy in a short, sudden burst, burning up all the gears moving parts of the system.

I know this is difficult for you guys to understand, more than likely, but if you CAN understand it, tell me what you think. I'd love to hear comments and suggestions.

So they-re some sort of mechanic hands? You mean using it for roleplay?

Then I'd supose Parker and Gearly could be good friends, being my character also a mechanic nut (no pun)
