Definitions

from The Century Dictionary.

  • Directly driven by belt or other transmission without the interposition of a reducing-gear shaft: used of speed-lathes or drill-presses having no back-gear on the head-stock, and of motor-car transmissions where the motor turns slowly enough to render a counter-shaft and gear-train unnecessary.
