WHAT DOES DRIVING WHEEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Driving wheel

On a steam locomotive, a driving wheel is a powered wheel which is driven by the locomotive's pistons. On a conventional, non-articulated locomotive, the driving wheels are all coupled together with side rods; normally one pair is directly driven by the main rod which is connected to the end of the piston rod; power is transmitted to the others through the side rods. On Diesel and Electric locomotives the driving wheels may be directly driven by the traction motors. Coupling rods are not usually used, and it is quite common for each axle to have its own motor. Jackshaft drive and coupling rods were used in the past but their use is now confined to shunting locomotives. On an articulated locomotive or a duplex locomotive driving wheels are grouped into sets which are linked together within the set.
