Planet :: Planet (n.) A celestial body which revolves about the sun in an orbit of a moderate degree of eccentricity. It is distinguished from a comet by the absence of a coma, and by having a less eccentric orbit. See Solar system..

Anomaly :: Anomaly (n.) The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion, as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly.

Abaxile :: Abaxile (a.) Away from the axis or central line; eccentric.

Gab :: Gab (n.) The hook on the end of an eccentric rod opposite the strap. See. Illust. of Eccentric.

Link :: Link (n.) Any intermediate rod or piece for transmitting force or motion, especially a short connecting rod with a bearing at each end; specifically (Steam Engine), the slotted bar, or connecting piece, to the opposite ends of which the eccentric rods are jointed, and by means of which the movement of the valve is varied, in a link motion..
