Much of the function of the manual transmission can be carried over to, or analogized to the study of automatic transmissions. In its most basic form, a manual transmission consists of a set of gears along a pair of shafts, the input shafts and output shafts. The gears on one shaft engage with those on the other shaft.
A distilled beverage, spirit, liquor, or hard liquor is an alcoholic beverage produced by distillation of a mixture produced from alcoholic fermentation.he term spirit refers to a distilled beverage that contains no added sugar and has at least 20% alcohol by volume (ABV).
For example, in the United States, a standard drink contains about 14 grams of alcohol. This roughly corresponds to a 12-US-fluid-ounce (350 ml) glass of beer, a 5-US-fluid-ounce (150 ml) glass of 12% wine (no longer the norm, however), or a 1.5-US-fluid-ounce (44 ml) glass of a spirit. Different countries define standard drinks differently. For example, in Australia, a standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, but in Japan, it contains nearly 20 grams.
