The chain drive is one of the mechanisms through which power is transmitted mechanically from an engine to the wheels via an endless rotating chain.
Using a tractor as an instance, you probably had seen some of its large chain wheels. These massive chains are responsible for transmitting power and kinetic energy (energy in motion) via the rotational movements of the chains. The rate of rotation of these chains results in the speed level of the tractor.
Please read on motion and force here
Apart from the tractor, some of the other mechanisms of power transmission that utilizes the chain drive technology include:
Chain saw
Print machines
Bicycles
Motorcycles
Elevators and so on.
A chain drive is defined as a system comprising an endless chain running over two sprockets, bringing about mechanical movements in the process.
Think of the sprockets as toothed wheels over which an endless rotational chain is fitted.
The image below shows the roller chain (which is a type of chain drive):
The chain in the above diagram (often called roller chain or drive chain or transmission chain) is used to convey power over two sprocket wheels with its edged teeth meshing with the holes at the center of the chain.

Chain drives are employed or utilized in diverse areas; some of which include:
Power transmission
Oil well drilling rigs
Load lifting
Building and Construction
Transportation and Agricultural machinery
Please read on agricultural machines and their uses here
Based on the utilization or uses of the chain drives, they can be classified into three types. These are:

Amazing facts in Basic Technology
Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated
Lighter was invented before matches
Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner was credited with the invention of lighter in 1826 while the match was made 3 years later
Volkswagen group of companies own some of the top cars of the world. These are Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini and Porsche
Notable points in Basic Technology
Arrowhead lines are lines with pointed edges at one or both ends. The pointed edges are in the form of an arrow.
Arrowhead lines are used:
At the end of dimensional lines.
As measurement lines.
A thin continuous line could be a straight or curved line. However, the main point to remember is this: 'it is a tiny line with no dot or dashes within it'.
_______________________
A thin continuous line is used for representing the followings:
Projection lines
Hatching lines
Construction lines
Short center lines
Measurement lines
Diagonal lines used to state plane surfaces
Intersections
Leader lines
Backside section lines
Any action that involves the servicing, checking, replacing and repairing of an equipment, object or device is termed maintenance.
Maintenance has two main goals. These are:
To prevent a breakdown
To repair the breakdown
Below are the types of maintenance:
Preventive maintenance
Corrective maintenance
Predictive maintenance
Periodic maintenance
Reinforcement
Overhaul
Softwoods are often derived from coniferous trees, that is: trees with needle-like leaves, and whose seeds are covered in cones.
Below are some characteristics of softwood:
Most softwood have lower densities than hardwood (weighs lower).
In terms of price, they are often less expensive than hardwood.
Their growth rate is faster than hardwood.
Most softwood do not shed their needle-like leaves during the year. However, the softwood 'larch' and 'cypress' are exceptions.
They are less fire resistant.
