English

Noun

rachet (plural rachets)

Archaic form of ratchet.
- 1922, International Reviw of the Science and Practice of Agriculture:
  […] two lateral wheels can be removed: when on the machine they are equivalent, as supporting surface, to a drum 0,79 m. broad, but, as the wheels are provided with special rachets, turning is easier because the central wheel is pulled on at the same speed as the faster-moving lateral wheel.
