jazz - Why do jamming musicians "trade fours" (rather than any other number)? - Music: Practice & Theory Stack Exchange

jazz - Why do jamming musicians "trade fours" (rather than any other number)? - Music: Practice & Theory Stack Exchange: "I've run across the idea of "trading fours" when playing in (and listening to) jazz groups; i.e. where two or more musicians take it in turns to play four bar licks or solos. I understand that it can encourage creative interaction between musicians.

However, I was wondering why it seems to be specifically four bars? Would trading twos or eights (for example) be less effective?

It's just a name: it used to be based on four bars, which probably would comprise one set of chord changes (eg doowop, I vi IV V), but could just as easily be two or eight bars. It's like calling a song's bridge a 'middle eight', even though the number of bars may be different. The Beatles always called their bridges 'middle eights'."

What's the difference between a shaft, an axle, a rod and a beam? - Quora

What's the difference between a shaft, an axle, a rod and a beam? - Quora: "A shaft is a rotating member, usually of circular cross section, used to transmit power or motion. It provides the axis of rotation, or oscillation, of elements such as gears, pulleys, flywheels, cranks, sprockets, and the like and controls the geometry of their motion.

An axle is a non rotating member that carries no torque and is used to support rotating wheels, pulleys, and the like. The automotive axle is not a true axle; the term is a carry-over from the horse-and-buggy era, when the wheels rotated on non rotating members.

A rod element supports tension, compression and axial torsion but not bending.

A beam element includes bending."
