n: see chain drive. chain-and-sprocket drive n: a type of drive that consists of a loop of chain that goes around two shafts with sprockets fitted on the shafts. The driving shaft provides power and the driven shaft receives power. When the sprocket on the driving shaft turns, the chain moves and turns the driven sprocket. chainand- sprocket transmission n: a selective transmission made up primarily of chain-andsprocket drives. There are three two-strand chain-and-sprocket drives and a pair of gears for reversing, located between the input shaft coming from the compound, and the output shaft on a mechanically driven drawworks. Each of these chain-and- sprocket drives has a different sprocket ratio to provide three speeds to the high-drum drive and three to the low-drum drive. Com- pare gear transmission.
