BTW, in the electric power industry 'power transmission' is the high voltage 64K to 500K lines that connect generation stations to the distribution grid, but that has nothing to do with this topic.
If that is the case, there is a certain rather stubborn mentor on my team I need to talk to..... (I've been chewed out for using the term transmission to describe our single speed)...
