machines--one having an M.A. of 6 and the other an
M.A. of 2. Therefore, the overall theoretical M.A. of
the winch is 6 x 2, or 12. Since friction is always
present, the actual M.A. may be only 7 or 8. Even so,

all types of gear trains. One type of gear train that is
used extensively is the gear differential. It is capable
of adding and subtracting mechanically. The gear
differential adds the total revolutions of two shafts, or
