	A mine shaft enables reaching the minerals under the surface and facilitates the transport of people and material up and down. In SA we have shafts of over 5000 m. __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto

	Hello babumechanical Apart from the explanation by Hendrik above, ( A vertical or near vertical hole in the ground), a shaft as a mechanical item is generally used to transmit mechanical energy, often in the form of rotating metal, from one source of energy to do useful work further along the shaft. Example: turbine/alternator - motor/machinery engine/propulsion of ship and that type of thing. There are various types of shaft: Crankshaft, camshaft, motor shaft, alternator shaft, turbine shaft, propeller shaft, gearbox shaft, push-rod shaft, and many more specialized types of shaft.

	As I read the OP's post further, I realized that he meant The shaft. The shaft is a device used by employers re extract revenge on employees. It brings pleasure to employers, and misery and anger to employees. __________________ Bob
