10 Questions
What is a non-synchronous transmission also known as?
Crash gearbox
Where are non-synchronous transmissions primarily found?
Industrial machinery
What type of manual transmissions were commonly used in cars prior to the 1950s and 1960s?
Constant-mesh and non-synchronous
Which automobile is considered to have set the template for multi-speed manual transmissions in motor vehicles?
French Panhard et Levassor
What type of transmission did most early automobiles use for rear-engined, single-speed transmission?

What is data communication or digital communications?
The transfer and reception of data in the form of a digital bitstream or a digitized analog signal transmitted over a communication channel.
What are examples of communication channels for data transmission?
Copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication using radio spectrum, storage media, and computer buses.
What is analog transmission?
A method of conveying voice, data, image, signal or video information using a continuous signal which varies in amplitude, phase, or some other property in proportion to that of a variable.
How are messages represented in analog transmission?
Either represented by a sequence of pulses by means of a line code (baseband transmission), or by a limited set of continuously varying waveforms (passband transmission), using a digital modulation method.
What is a digital modulation method used in analog transmission?
A method of converting digital data into analog signals for transmission.
Study Notes
Transmission Types
- Non-synchronous transmission is also known as asynchronous transmission.
- Non-synchronous transmissions are primarily found in motorcycles and some older vehicles.
Early Manual Transmissions
- Manual transmissions commonly used in cars prior to the 1950s and 1960s were non-synchronous transmissions.
Multi-Speed Manual Transmissions
- The Cadillac Type V-12 is considered to have set the template for multi-speed manual transmissions in motor vehicles.
Early Automobile Transmissions
- Most early automobiles used a rear-engined, single-speed transmission.
Data Communication
- Data communication or digital communications refers to the transmission of information in digital form.
Communication Channels
- Examples of communication channels for data transmission include radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and fiber optics.
Analog Transmission
- Analog transmission refers to the transmission of information in analog form, typically using continuous signals.
Analog Signal Representation
- In analog transmission, messages are represented by continuous signals that vary in amplitude, frequency, or phase.
Digital Modulation Method
- Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a digital modulation method used in analog transmission.
