A whippletree, or whiffletree, is a mechanism to distribute force evenly through linkages. It is also referred to as an equalizer, leader bar, or double tree. It consists of a bar pivoted at or near the centre, with force applied from one direction to the pivot and from the other direction to the tips. Several whippletrees may be used in series to distribute the force further, such as to simulate pressure over an area as when applying loading to test airplane wings. Whippletrees may be used either in compression or tension. They were also used for subtraction and addition calculations in mechanical computers. Tension whippletrees are used in artful hung mobiles, such as those by artist Alexander Calder.

  • Das Ortscheit, auch Zugbaum, Klippschwengel oder kurz Schwengel genannt, ist Teil eines Gespannes von Zugtieren. Es ist ein beweglicher Balken aus festem Holz oder Metall. Er dient als Verbindungsstück zwischen den Strängen, an denen die Zugtiere ziehen, und der Bracke oder einer Waage, die wiederum gemeinsam mit der Schere oder der Deichsel über den Lenkschemel oder direkt am Wagen befestigt ist.Das Ortscheit verhindert bei einem Brustblattgeschirr durch seine Beweglichkeit, dass das Pferd sich die Schultern am Geschirr aufscheuert.
