Roller chain is made in several sizes, the most common American National Standards Institute ( ANSI ) standards being 40, 50, 60, and 80.

It consists of steel links held together by rivets, and superficially resembles the bicycle-style roller chain, although it is closer in design to a leaf chain.
33.
The dual overhead camshafts are driven by a single-stage roller chain of 8.0 mm ( 0.3-in ) pitch, enabling a narrow included valve angle of 27.5?
34.
The engine was considerably over-engineered for durability, for instance featuring doubled cam roller chains, as it was also to form the basis for the 4T-GT competition engines.

The engine was specially developed by Weslake as an air-cooled 90?semi wet-sump and the gearbox was a five-speed constant mesh to a sealed roller chain final drive.

Though Hans Renold is credited with inventing the roller chain in 1880, sketches by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century show a chain with a roller bearing.
39.
One problem with roller chains is the variation in speed, or surging, caused by the acceleration and deceleration of the chain as it goes around the sprocket link by link.
40.
Conventional roller chain drives suffer the potential for vibration, as the effective radius of action in a chain and sprocket combination constantly changes during revolution ( " chordal action " ).
