Quill Drive

A quill drive is a mechanism that allows a drive shaft to shift its position (either axially, radially, or both) relative to its driving shaft. It consists of a hollow driving shaft (the quill) with a driven shaft inside it. The two are connected in some fashion which permits the required motion.

Famous quotes containing the word drive:

    To drive men from independence to live on alms, is itself great cruelty.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
