Gate Overview

After dis-assembling the Daiwa Baitcast Reel (Right Hand Retrieve), and performing a complete thorough analysis of its internal workings, our next task remains to be the re-assembly of the reel. We also identified and described the main mechanism involved in the workings of the reel system and suggested three possible system level revisions for the reel. Lastly we also looked into our team management once more to evaluate its efficiency in working as a single entity.

Step Number	Description	Difficulty Rating	Tools Required	Pictures
1	• Place springs 25 and 29 into clutch cam (piece 26). Caution: While holding the springs inside the clutch cam, squeeze the springs so that they will also fit inside their designated wholes.
2	• Slide in piece 28 between 26 and the frame.
3	• Place piece 51 back onto the frame assembly.		•
4	• Screw piece 27 back in to lock down piece 51. • Screw piece 42 in to lock down clutch cam. • Place gear 49 back onto the worm shaft and lock it down with the clip, piece 50. • Place gear 52 as denoted by the picture and place the gear retainer (piece 53) on top of it. • Then place piece 54 back on top of the gear and screw it down with screws 55.
5	• Now slide pieces onto the shaft (piece 56). Piece 57 goes on first. There are 2 piece 58's and they will be placed on either side of anti-reverse ratchet (piece 59). • Then slide 61, 62, 63, and 64 onto the shaft in that order (piece 65 may still be located in piece 36; if not, slide 65 onto the shaft too).
6	• Part 60 fits in the teeth of the ratchet (piece 59). The hole of piece 60 fits on a raised area of plastic of the frame assembly. • Place the yoke (piece 30) on the 2 cylindrical piece of plastic sticking out of the frame assembly. • The yoke should be oriented so that the removed circular section of the yoke can fit around the pinion gear (piece 33) as you slide the pinion gear onto the frame assembly. • Piece 32 will fit into one of the holes of the yoke, then place springs 31 into the yoke's holes. Pieces 34 and 35 should still be in 36, if not, place them on top of the pinion gear (piece 33).
7	• Place piece 36, the right side plate on top. • Screws 37 and 38 will now be screwed back into piece 36 to lock it down in place.
8	• Slide pieces 66-70 onto the plate in the order: 66-67-68-69-70(2).
9	• The star drag can now be placed back on top. Gently screw the star drag (piece 71) back on. Place pieces 72, 73, 74, and 75 back on at the same time, and screw piece 76 into the hole located on piece 75.
10	• The O-ring may still be located on piece 36. If not, slide the O-ring, piece 39, and piece 40 back on. Then screw cap 41 back onto the top.			N/A

Mechanisms

The Daiwa Baitcasting Reel uses a system of gears to translate rotational energy of the user’s hand, into kinetic energy of the spool.

When the user rotates the handle, this rotational energy is transmitted to the drive gear, which rotates the pinion gear. The pinion gear has a smaller radius than the drive gear, thus spinning much faster than the handle. The pinion gear is directly attached to the drum. The drum spins as fast as the pinion gear, and winds the line.

Two gears: A and B. N = number of teeth
