Italian term or phrase: distribuzione ad alberello
(Ducati Scrambler 1962) Nasce il primo monocilindrico monoalbero con distribuzione ad alberello e coppie coniche. Soluzione raffinata, costosa, ma che dà grandi soddisfazioni e farà scuola. Altro passo importante è la creazione, sempre ad opera di Taglioni, del primo motore con comando desmodromico delle valvole in vista della partecipazione al Campionato Mondiale.

Bevel Drive Camshaft
Explanation:

The 125cc Gran Sport introduced in 1955 was a very successful racing bike producing 14hp and winning the Giro d'Italia roadrace in 1956. It was a development of the first overhead cam bevel drive engine developed in 1955 by a newly hired company engineer named Fabio Taglioni.

Wide-case production models represent the pinnacle of Ducati singles, motorcycles characterized by a single camshaft driven by bevel gears.

Though the 1970 Ducati 350 Scrambler motorcycle didn't carry Ducati's famed desmodromic valvetrain, it did have bevel-gear cam drive.
