transmission
Sending a signal
Transmission is the act of sending or passing something from one place or person to another: the transmission of disease, data, radio signals, cultural values.
In vehicles, the transmission is the mechanism that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, with gears that shift to match speed and load: automatic transmission, manual transmission.
A transmission can also be a specific broadcast: We interrupt this transmission.
