Wheelwork

Wheelwork refers to the arrangement and interaction of gears and wheels within a mechanical system. These wheels, often called gears, transfer motion and force from one part of a machine to another. By meshing together, they can change the direction, speed, or torque of movement. This system allows machines to operate efficiently, enabling complex functions like clocks or vehicles. Essentially, wheelwork is the coordinated network of interconnected gears that make mechanical devices move smoothly and precisely.
