An engine built by the Aultman-Taylor Machinery Co., of Mansfield, Ohio, differs from the others in the manner in which the power is transmitted from the crank-shaft to the rear driving wheels. In this engine, the driving is by means of an inclined shaft, Fig. 30, with bevel wheels at its ends, gearing with others on the crank and driving shafts respectively. That on the crank-shaft, though rotating with the shaft, is free to slide along it, and is so used to throw the traction gear in or out.
