	Gear: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Different-sized gears are often used in pairs, allowing the torque of the driving gear to produce a larger torque in the driven gear at lower speed, or a smaller torque at higher speed.
		Regardless of the gear ratio, the amount of power delivered by the output gear cannot exceed the power applied to the input gear, and there is usually a loss of power due to friction.
		This is a gear that resembles a screw, with parallel helical teeth, and mates with a normal spur gear.

	Interrupter gear
		Synchronization gear, popularly and incorrectly known as interrupter gear, was a triggering device attached to the machine gun of a tractor-type fighter aircraft so that it would fire only at certain times thereby allowing the gun to fire through the arc of a spinning propeller without the bullets striking the blades.
		A machine gun fitted with interrupter gear had the trigger normally enabled and the interrupter mechanism would disable the trigger when a propeller blade was in the way.
		Eventually all British aircraft were equipped with the superior Constantinesco synchronization gear (or "CC" gear) which used the impulse on a column of liquid instead of a mechanical system of linkages, though it still relied on a cam to initiate the impulse.

		Improving upon the French invention of the so-called 'deflector gear', which enabled fighter pilots to use machine guns to fire through aircraft propeller blades, Anton Fokker devised the much-improved interrupter gear in 1915.
		The key drawback to the French device - championed by French air ace Roland Garros - was that the machine gun would often fire bullets into the aircraft's propeller blades rather than always through them.
		He devised the 'interrupter gear', a timing mechanism whereby the machine gun would only fire through the aircraft propellers, i.e.

		While many of these problems associated with other gear have become accepted as obstacles that must be worked around, the PVI supplies an attractive alternative that tackles these limitations head-on.
		The resettable Vacuum Interrupter means that fuses are no longer required when the PVI is used in place of most padmount equipment.
		In comparing the front-accessible gear to placing all equipment in vaults or basements, the front-accessible gear is significantly less expensive.

		What you describe O.P. (correctly I might add) is technically an interrupter, it mechanically prevented the gun from firing when the prop was in a position to be struck.
		The slow rate of fire was not the pilot being conservative with his ammunition, it was as expended as fast at the interrupter gear 'prevented' his gun from firing.
		Hydraulic fluid was compressed by a pump in pulses off the engine camshaft, via tubing this ran to valve gear at the base of the joystick where the pressure was absorbed by a system of relief valves and chambers.

		The first is Synchronization gear, which is often incorrectly referred to as "interrupter gear"; this is a triggering device attached to the machine gun armament of a tractor-type fighter aircraft so that it would fire only at certain times.
		The first British aircraft to use a synchronizer gear was the Sopwith 1Â½ Strutter which arrived in April 1916 equipped with the Ross synchronizer, although some other service types were retrofitted with synchronised guns about this time, including the Nieuport 12 and the Bristol Scout.
		Eventually all British aircraft were equipped with the superior hydraulic Constantinesco synchronization gear (or "CC" gear, invented by Romanian engineer George Constantinesco) which used impulses transmitted by a column of liquid instead of a mechanical system of linkages.

		However, this was found to be very unsatisfactory, owing to the construction of the gun, and it was found that a much more satisfactory operation could be obtained by having a gear fire the gun at certain points throughout the revolution of the propeller when the blade was not opposite the muzzle of the gun.

	Interrupter gear - Definition, explanation
		Introduced during the First World War, the interrupter or synchroniser guaranteed that the gun would only fire when the propeller was not in the way and thus avoided damaging it.
		The main problem with the interrupter or synchroniser was the reduction in the rate of fire of the machine gun.
		The interrupter gear remained widely used until the jet engine replaced propeller-driven fighters.

		Synchronization gear, popularly and incorrectly known as interrupter gear, was a triggering device attached to the machine gun of a tractor-type fighter aircraft so that it would fire only at certain times thereby allowing the gun to fire through the arc of a spinning propeller without the bullets striking the blades.
		Introduced during the First World War, the gun synchronizer was a significant development in the history of air combat and remained in operational use until the Korean War.
		As aircraft gunsight technology improved, however, the importance of locating the guns in front of the pilot diminished, and many fighters of World War II had wing-mounted guns instead that fired to the sides of the propeller and their bullet trajectories were "harmonised" to converge at a preset distance.

		The interrupter gear was invented by Anthony Fokker during World War I to enable a propeller powered aircraft to fire a forward facing machine-gun.
		This device prevented the machine-gun from firing while the propeller blade was directly in front of the muzzle of the gun.
		The Interrupter Gear replaced the simpler deflector gear, which was simply a block of metal attached to the propellor to deflect bullets.

		The interrupter itself was not new: a German patent had been taken out on such a device by the Swiss engineer Franz Schneider before the war.
		With Saulnier's gear as his inspiration (and perhaps drawing on earlier German work), Fokker swiftly came up with an efficient interrupter gear, which he fitted onto a monoplane of his own design--ironically, a copy of a French Morane.
		Powered by a radial engine derived from the Wright Cyclone, it had manually retracted landing gear and an open cockpit; its armament of four 7.62-millimetre machine guns, two in the wings and two in the engine cowling, was heavy for the time.
