The diagrams show the relation of the various parts of a gearbox to the rest of the drive. The upper drawing should give a clear idea of how the drive from the engine is taken through the clutch and thence, by constant mesh pinions, to the secondary shaft of the gearbox, from which, on the intermediate gears, it is taken back through the other pinions to the main shaft. The lower drawing shows how the drive is taken from the main shaft to the back axle. On top gear, however, the drive is direct, the main shaft of the gearbox taking up the drive from the engine by means of a dog-clutch (inset). The other sketch shows the positions of the pinions when top gear is engaged.
