A gear or gearwheel is a rotating machine part typically used to transmit rotational motion and/or torque by means of a series of teeth that engage with compatible teeth of another gear or other part. Rack and pinion and gear are gears.
Grade (slope)
The grade (US) or gradient (UK) (also called stepth, slope, incline, mainfall, pitch or rise) of a physical feature, landform or constructed line refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.

Involute
In mathematics, an involute (also known as an evolvent) is a particular type of curve that is dependent on another shape or curve.
See Rack and pinion and Involute
Lever
A lever is a simple machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum.
Linear actuator
A linear actuator is an actuator that creates linear motion (i.e., in a straight line), in contrast to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. Rack and pinion and linear actuator are actuators.
See Rack and pinion and Linear actuator
List of gear nomenclature
This page lists the standard US nomenclature used in the description of mechanical gear construction and function, together with definitions of the terms. Rack and pinion and list of gear nomenclature are gears.

Lock (water navigation)
A lock is a device used for raising and lowering boats, ships and other watercraft between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways.
See Rack and pinion and Lock (water navigation)
Locomotive
A locomotive or engine is a rail transport vehicle that provides the motive power for a train.

Machine element
Machine element or hardware refers to an elementary component of a machine.
See Rack and pinion and Machine element
Matchlock
A matchlock or firelock is a historical type of firearm wherein the gunpowder is ignited by a burning piece of flammable cord or twine that is in contact with the gunpowder through a mechanism that the musketeer activates by pulling a lever or trigger with their finger.
See Rack and pinion and Matchlock
Musket
A musket is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating plate armour. Rack and pinion and musket are Turkish inventions.
See Rack and pinion and Musket
Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire, historically and colloquially known as the Turkish Empire, was an imperial realm centered in Anatolia that controlled much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa from the 14th to early 20th centuries; it also controlled parts of southeastern Central Europe, between the early 16th and early 18th centuries.
See Rack and pinion and Ottoman Empire
Pinion
A pinion is a round gear—usually the smaller of two meshed gears—used in several applications, including drivetrain and rack and pinion systems. Rack and pinion and pinion are gears.
See Rack and pinion and Pinion
Pipeline
A pipeline is a system of pipes for long-distance transportation of a liquid or gas, typically to a market area for consumption.
See Rack and pinion and Pipeline
Pitman arm
A Pitman arm is a shaft that translates rotary or angular movement into linear movement, or vice versa. Rack and pinion and Pitman arm are Automotive steering technologies.
See Rack and pinion and Pitman arm
Rack phase difference
Rack Phase Difference (RPD) is a difference in the elevation between rack teeth of the chords of any single leg of a jackup rig with open truss-type legs.
See Rack and pinion and Rack phase difference
Rack railway
A rack railway (also rack-and-pinion railway, cog railway, or cogwheel railway) is a steep grade railway with a toothed rack rail, usually between the running rails.
See Rack and pinion and Rack railway
Railroad car
A railroad car, railcar (American and Canadian English), railway wagon, railway carriage, railway truck, railwagon, railcarriage or railtruck (British English and UIC), also called a train car, train wagon, train carriage or train truck, is a vehicle used for the carrying of cargo or passengers on a rail transport network (a railroad/railway).
See Rack and pinion and Railroad car
South-pointing chariot
The south-pointing chariot (or carriage) was an ancient Chinese two-wheeled vehicle that carried a movable pointer to indicate the south, no matter how the chariot turned.
See Rack and pinion and South-pointing chariot
Sprocket
A sprocket, sprocket-wheel or chainwheel is a profiled wheel with teeth that mesh with a chain, rack or other perforated or indented material. Rack and pinion and sprocket are gears.

Train
A train (from Old French trahiner, from Latin trahere, "to pull, to draw") is a series of connected vehicles that run along a railway track and transport people or freight.
Valve
A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.
Wheelset (rail transport)
A wheelset is a pair of railroad vehicle wheels mounted rigidly on an axle allowing both wheels to rotate together.
See Rack and pinion and Wheelset (rail transport)
