An improved ratchet wrench tool ratcheting mechanism is provided wherein springs encased in the shank spindle have balls at each end of the springs to abut fixed washer surfaces so that tool operation and life is improved by increasing the frictional force and reducing the spring stress, unbalanced load, and housing yoke wear experienced by prior art mechanisms.

A locomotive speed recorder system having a gear train drive operable off the drive wheel of a locomotive, in which system a pneumatically operable cam bar is provided for disengaging the gear train drive so as to de-activate the recorder during dead-head engine runs. A changeable gear train is utilized to effect drive wheel wear compensation; and a right angle drive from the drive wheel incorporates reduction gearing to reduce wear of a flexible cable connecting the right angle drive with the recorder.

A hand grip in the form of a sleeve unit having a body of elastomeric material provided with an internal cavity filled with a fluent material; and having an axial through hole adapted to slidably receive the shank of a chisel of a percussive tool, the hand grip adapted when manually squeezed to grip the shank of the chisel to allow insertion or removal of the shank from the tool, and adapted when grasped by the operator during operation of the tool to isolate the vibrations of the shank from the hand of the operator.
