Eccentric Crank
Eccentricity is the degree to which two forms fail to share a common center. In mechanical engineering, an eccentric is a circular disk solidly fixed to a rotating axle with its center offset from that of the axle (hence the word "eccentric", out of the center).
It is used most often in steam engines and used to convert rotary motion into linear reciprocating motion to drive a sliding valve or pump ram.
(This eccentric is on an operating model of a steam tractor.)
