Abstract: A tool for immobilising a first shaft of a gas turbine engine in relation to a second shaft of a gas turbine engine, the tool comprising a cylindrical body having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the cylindrical body having one or more interior protrusions on the inner surface of the cylindrical body for engaging with the first shaft, and the outer surface of the cylindrical body having one or more exterior protrusions for engaging with the second shaft, the tool being configured such that at least part of the tool can be inserted within and held fixed relative to a section of the second shaft, and a section of the first shaft can be inserted within and held fixed relative to the interior of the cylindrical body.

Abstract: Electronic gaming machines having mechanical or electro-mechanical wheel devices are described herein. The gaming machines include a cabinet, a display coupled to the cabinet, and a wheel coupled to the cabinet. The wheel includes a plurality of wheel segments positioned axially about a center point of the wheel. The plurality of wheel segments may be configured to rotate about the center point and to transform an appearance of the wheel. The wheel further includes an indicator configured to indicate an indicated wheel segment. The indicator may be configured to rotate about the center point.
