Homonym: transmissions (Broadcasting)
Transmissions are systems that transfer power from one part of a machine to another. In vehicles, for example, the transmission connects the engine to the wheels, allowing the car to move. It adjusts the engine's power and speed to match the driving conditions, ensuring smooth operation.
There are different types of transmissions, including manual and automatic. A manual transmission requires the driver to change gears using a clutch and gear stick, while an automatic transmission shifts gears on its own. Both types play a crucial role in the performance and efficiency of vehicles, impacting fuel consumption and driving experience.
