Hey everyone, I'm reaching out for some help with my homework. I really should have figured this out earlier, but I'm struggling with what part of a bench drill is responsible for moving the platform up and down. I feel a bit embarrassed asking this, since I tried looking it up myself but didn't find much use. Thanks for any input you can provide!

The part you're looking for is called a rack and pinion. It's commonly found in various shop tools that require height adjustments, like drill presses.

What does that mean in simple terms for my class?
