Pro Tip 1/3Mechanical Context
Cogwheel is commonly used in mechanical and engineering contexts referring to physical parts of a machine.
He examined the mechanism to ensure every cogwheel was in place.
Pro Tip 2/3Interlocking Motion
Cogwheels interlock with one another, causing a movement or transfer of force in machinery.
The cogwheels in the factory machine interlocked perfectly, making the conveyor belt move.
Pro Tip 3/3Not Interchangeable
Each cogwheel is made for a specific position and task, showing the importance of fitting the right piece in machines.
Fixing the machine was a challenge because each cogwheel had a unique size and shape.

The greatest machine...
you would see something very very similar to this there's this incredible complexity in the CPU and this incredible regularity in the memory if you ever seen an electron microscope picture you'll see this it all looks the same and there's a bit over here which isn't got to be complicated this all this cogwheel mechanism here is doing
