How do you drive a vertical shaft with a horizontal motor mount?

I understand mitre gear, spiral gear and a worm drive. Is there another way?
I have been looking through several texts and am not having much luck. Is
there a way to do it with a chain? I cannot see a V-belt doing it. Some sort
of friction drive instead of gears? But how good is the power transmission
in such case?

Thanks,
