Etymology
The term "l'albero di trasmissione" comes from Italian, where "albero" means 'shaft' or 'tree,' referring to a central rotating part, and "trasmissione" means 'transmission,' indicating the transfer of power. Did you know? The word "albero" is used metaphorically here because the shaft branches power to different parts, much like a tree's branches.
