Bottom Bracket? Or do you mean the spindle?

Strictly speaking it's an axle

"Drive side arm"
how times change.
The levery thing on the right with the chainrings attached to it used to be the crank.
The levery thing on the left used to be the arm.
times change and bike slang becomes even more unfathomable.....0
