The Daedalus Machinery are craft materials in Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. Together, these comprise a type of simple linear actuator manufactured by the Dragon Lord Daedalus, the master smith who is probably responsible for the Palace of the Dead. When used in crafting, they are typically used as components of mechanisms that eviscerate a target.
Recipes using these two items only appear in Secrets of the Master, and require one of each item.

EtymologyEdit
Combined, the Daedalus Rack and Daedalus Pinion form a linear actuator known as a rack-and-pinion. This type of mechanism is probably most familiar as the mechanism used in automobile steering wheels.
Rack and pinion mechanisms first appeared as cranequins in France, where they were used to reload crossbows. While durable, reloading with a cranequin was slow and the mechanism was hard to make, and so did not see much use in battle; crossbows using a cranequin were most commonly used in hunting.[1]
