Note
A plural that only some meanings of transmission readily take. Countable uses pluralize easily: gearboxes coming off an assembly line, radio broadcasts, individual messages or pictures sent. The process meanings, such as the sending of power or data or the passage of a nerve impulse, usually stay singular and uncountable. One writes the transmission of disease, and switches to transmissions only when separate, countable instances are meant.
