Geneva Mechanism

Geneva Mechanisms are widely used in motion picture film projectors to intermittently advance film through a film gate having a projection aperture. The film is moved or advanced by a Geneva Mechanism (also known as a “Maltese Cross”) until an image frame is in alignment with the projection aperture.

In watches, the "drivewheel is the one that winds up the spring, and the Geneva wheel with four or five spokes and one closed slot prevents overwinding (and also complete unwinding) of the spring. ... The Iron Ring Clock uses a Geneva mechanism to provide intermittent motion to one of its rings.

A  V12 engine  is a twelve-cylinder  piston engine  where two banks of six cylinders are arranged in a  V configuration  around a common crankshaft. V12 engines are more common than V10 engines. However, they are less common than V8 engines. The first V12 engine was built in 1904 for use in racing boats. Due to the balanced nature of the engine and the smooth delivery of power, V12 engines were popular in early luxury automobiles, boats, aircraft and tanks.
