Across
  1. 1. Circular motion
  2. 3. Is reversible or irreversible depending upon whether or not you can spin the input both clockwise and counterclockwise and have the mechanism still function properly.
  3. 5. How many times a gear spins one, full rotation. Increases with a smaller output gear.
  4. 8. Motion that goes in a straight line, one direction.
  5. 9. A spinning force. Increases with a larger output gear.
  6. 10. Curved back and forth motion
  7. 11. Is reversible or irreversible depending upon whether or not the mechanisms still would work if you were to put the motor on the output gear.
Down
  1. 1. Back and forth in a straight line motion
  2. 2. The gear that the motor is attached to.
  3. 4. When shafts are lined up in different directions and would intersect if extended.
  4. 6. The gear that is at the end and only moves because another gear is moving it.
  5. 7. When shafts are lined up in the same direction as each other and will NOT intersect.
