   Case Study: The Chronometric Imperative (c. 1780–1850)
   The introduction of highly precise mechanical clockwork into several Eurasian polities during the late 18th century serves as a classic example of partial assimilation. While the mechanics of escapement and gear ratios were adopted, the underlying philosophical concept—that time was a strictly linear, divisible commodity independent of seasonal or liturgical cycles—was resisted. Instead, man…

   These are employed when shafts must cross without intersecting, often seen in differential assemblies.
   Worm Gears: Consist of a screw (worm) meshing with a wheel (worm gear). They provide extremely high gear ratios (often $10:1$ up to $100:1$) in a compact space. A curious property of worm drives operating above a specific coefficient of kinetic friction ($\mu_k > 0.15$) is that the driven wheel cannot turn the wor…
