The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The modern jigsaw (a straight saw blade that rapidly moves up and down as the operator guides it along an intended cutting path) was created by a sewing machine repairman who modeled the action of the blade after the up-and-down action of a sewing machine needle. This is an example of far transfer.

The far transfer is the transfer of abilities and knowledge that are used under conditions of transformation. People have to apply that knowledge, information, and skills under new and different conditions. The learner has to adapt the knowledge to new conditions or circumstances to make things work.
