Shafting
(redirected from shaftings)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus 0.01 sec.
shafting [′shaft·iŋ]
(mechanical engineering)
The cylindrical machine element used to transmit rotary motion and power from a driver to a driven element; for example, a steam turbine driving a ship's propeller.

shafting
In medieval architecture, an arrangement of shafts, wrought in the mass of a pier or jamb, so that corresponding groupings of archivolt moldings may start from their caps at the impost line.

Shafting 

the aggregate of shafts transmitting rotation to the propeller from the vessel’s engine. On a propeller-driven ship the engine shaft is connected to a thrust shaft, which transmits the thrust of the propeller to the hull; the propeller is mounted on the propeller shaft. Transmission shafts are located between the thrust and propeller shafts. The length of the shafting depends on the location of the engine room (astern or amidships).

Well, the 10 small clubs will now be seriously challenging for the domestic Cup silverware, there will be no more one-sided shaftings whenever Celtic or Rangers visit your ground - and the Old Firm won't share the league title between them for the foreseeable future.
Alternatively, just to add a little bit of variety while cutting down on the number of Old Firm shaftings each club must endure, what about inviting four First Division sides into the SPL at the end of the season to create a Top 16?
