gear wheels
Interlocking toothed circles
Gear wheels are toothed mechanical wheels designed to mesh with other gears, transmitting motion and force between rotating shafts.
The teeth interlock so that one wheel's rotation drives another, often changing speed or direction: The gear wheels clicked into place as the clock mechanism engaged.
Also called gears or cogwheels.
