Lesson 5 Mechanical design ;Young people crowd science and technology fair;“Kids are going to stare and wonder, so why not open their eyes to it and let them know how great the science is out there.” Some young men and women already experienced the excitement of （7） . High school student Andrea Li was one of the young （8） last weekend. She says events like this could influence a lot of people. “I think it’s really exciting and that’s （9） .” Organizers say they hope the success of this event will lead to more science festivals to help ease the （10） of scientists and engineers.;KEY:;Nuts and Bolts;Nuts and Bolts;This is equally true in the day-to-day operation of Congress. The majority leader of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, together with the chairmen of committees, keep the business of Congress moving. Behind every Senator and Congressman, however, are assistants. These people do all the detailed work to prepare congressmen to vote wisely on each issue.

It has been said that Napoleon was successful because he knew the field position of every one of his guns. He gave careful attention to the nuts and bolts of his operations.;Big Mind;To illustrate how the design of machine elements must be integrated with a larger mechanical design let us consider the design of a speed reducer for the small tractor. Suppose that, to accomplish the speed reduction, you decide to design a double-reduction, spur gear speed reducer. You specify four gears, three shafts, six bearings, and a housing to hold the individual elements in proper relation to each o
