The Wikipedia entry for 'clutch' had a subsection on the cascaded-pawl single-revolution clutches found in Teletypes (and some other mechanisms). It needed an illustration, so I opened up the most accessible of the clutches on the Teletype we're restoring here at Iowa, took a photo (actually, a bunch of them, from which I selected the best), and put it up as an illustration.  I also cleaned up the wording a bit.

If the e-mail system murdered the link above, use the shorter link below and then scroll down to the cascaded-pawl section.
