Crank and Connecting Rod
Hi Khanate General, I was wondering why you removed the section regarding the "crank and connecting rod" on the basis that it's in another section of the List of Chinese Inventions. I don't see which other section it's in. Perhaps you are thinking of just the crank? Because the crank and connecting rod is more than just a crank for it is an invention on its own that's a bit more technologically advanced than just a crank. I think we should, at the very least, add the crank and connecting rod invention into the "crank" section. After all, the crank section only says that the Han dynasty used the crank to operate a rotary winnowing fan, but it does not say that the Han dynasty also used the crank and connecting rod to crush grain, which dates to at least the Western Han dynasty. Note that this is not the same as using just a crank to crush grain. In later dynasties they invented other uses for the crank and connecting rod that the article don't mention at all, so I think at least one sentence should be used to talk about that. Thank you.
