[1x2]+[2x4] A Boeing 757-200 from British Airways: 777: 14 wheels [1x2]+[2x6] A Boeing 777-200 from United Airlines. Using 6-wheel bogies, instead of the common 4-wheel bogies (reminiscent of earlier generation Tupolev Tu-154), was visionary for contemporary aircraft at the time of the design of the 777: B-52 Stratofortress: 8 main wheels plus ...
The most common example is probably the 4×4 configuration. 6×4*4 is the chassis configuration for a vehicle with six wheels where four wheels are driven, in addition, the two front wheels as well as the rearmost two wheels are steered.
The primary purpose of blocking is to brace longer frame members to help resist buckling under vertical compression. The intervals for the blocks are specified in the building code or as calculated by a structural engineer.
Common sizes include 2×4 (pictured) (also two-by-four and other variants, such as four-by-two in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK), 2×6, and 4×4. The length of a board is usually specified separately from the width and depth. It is thus possible to find 2×4s that are four, eight, and twelve feet in length.
A "timber-framed" house would be an older-style home framed with hand-hewn beams, mortised and tenoned at the joints - or if sawn, to forms that are basically modern imitations of the older style - at least 6x6 in size. Lumber refers to smaller dimension or dressed lumber such as 2x4 or 2x6 used in modern construction.
Studs usually consist of 1 + 1 ⁄ 2-by-3 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (38 mm × 89 mm) or 1 + 1 ⁄ 2-by-5 + 1 ⁄ 2-inch (38 mm × 140 mm) lumber and are commonly spaced at 16 inches (410 mm) on center. This spacing may be changed to 12 or 24 inches (300 or 610 mm) on center depending on the load and the limitations imposed by the type and thickness of the ...
Wall studs are framing components in timber or steel-framed walls, that run between the top and bottom plates.It is a fundamental element in frame building. The majority non-masonry buildings rely on wall studs, with wood being the most common and least-expensive material used for studs.
[12] [13] [14] Baldwin 2-6-6-2's of the 1906-1910 period fall into three basic design groups, with a handful of single orders in the 1910-1912 period. The Baldwin engines built in this period used saturated steam, as the superheater had not come into general use. With two exceptions noted below, driving wheels were 55" to 57" in diameter.
