  subtype:  clutch.coupler  a coupling that connects or disconnects driving and driven parts of a driving mechanism
     subtype:  friction_clutch  a clutch in which one part turns the other by the friction between them
        subtype:  cone_clutch__cone_friction_clutch  a friction clutch in which the frictional surfaces are cone-shaped
        subtype:  disk_clutch  a friction clutch in which the frictional surfaces are disks
        subtype:  slip_clutch__slip_friction_clutch  a friction clutch that will slip with the torque is too great
  subtype:  fluid_drive__fluiddrive  an automotive power coupling
  subtype:  swivel  a coupling (as in a chain) that has one end that turns on a headed pin
