2. Way (machine tool element) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_(machine_tool_element)

   It facilitates precise linear motion along a given axis. A way is ground, scraped, or (less often) molded to be very flat, and ways often come in pairs to ensure a flat plane for the carriage or sliding element (slide) to move along smoothly. Ways are usually lubricated with way oil (a kind of machine oil specially made to adhere to the ways ...

3. Linear-motion bearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear-motion_bearing

   A linear-motion bearing or linear slide is a bearing designed to provide free motion in one direction. There are many different types of linear motion bearings.. Motorized linear slides such as machine slides, X-Y tables, roller tables and some dovetail slides are bearings moved by drive mechanisms.

4. X-Y table - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Y_Table

   XY tables are flat surfaces mounted on ball bearing slides or roller slides with multiple linear bases and are composed of forcers and platens. [1] The forcer glides over the platen on frictionless air bearings and moves continuously in a linear motion across the platen. To create multiple axis, linear bases are often stacked on top of one ...

5. Linear stage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_stage

   The term linear slide is often used interchangeably with "linear stage", though technically "linear slide" refers to a linear motion bearing, which is only a component of a linear stage. All linear stages consist of a platform and a base, joined by some form of guide or linear bearing in such a way that the platform is restricted to linear ...

6. Slide rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_rule

   Pilot balloon slide rules were used by meteorologists in weather services to determine the upper wind velocities from an ascending hydrogen or helium-filled pilot balloon. [27] The E6-B is a circular slide rule used by pilots and navigators. Circular slide rules to estimate ovulation dates and fertility are known as wheel calculators. [28]

7. List of style guides - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_style_guides

   A style guide, or style manual, is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization or field. The implementation of a style guide provides uniformity in style and formatting within a document and across multiple documents.
