A metric mile or an Olympic mile is a colloquial term used in some countries for the 1500 meters, the premier middle distance running event in international track and field. The term 'metric mile' (0.93 statute miles) was applied to this distance because it approximates one statute mile (1609.344 m). [ 1 ]
Very narrow gauges of under 2 feet (610 mm) were used for some industrial railways in space-restricted environments such as mines or farms. The French company Decauville developed 500 mm (19 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) and 400 mm (15 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) tracks, mainly for mines; Heywood developed 15 in (381 mm) gauge for estate railways.
Used to model trains on 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge track. 16 mm scale: 16 mm-to-the-foot (1:19.05). Originally intended for modelling 2-ft gauge prototype railways on 32 mm track (SM32). The models are often re-gauged to also run on 45 mm track. This scale has also been used to model 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) gauge prototype trains.
1 gauge, gauge 1 or gauge one is a model railway and toy train standard that was popular in the early 20th century, particularly with European manufacturers. Its track measures 1.75 in (44.45 mm), making it larger than 0 gauge but slightly smaller than wide gauge, which came to be the dominant U.S. standard during the 1920s.
The board foot or board-foot is a unit of measurement for the volume of lumber in the United States and Canada [1].It equals the volume of a board that is one foot (30.5 cm) in length, one foot in width, and one inch (2.54 cm) in thickness, or exactly 2.359 737 216 liters.
Gel-Kayano 28. Anne Sharkey, D.P.M., a podiatrist at the North Austin Foot & Ankle Institute, recommends Asic’s Gel-Kayano sneakers for flat feet, noting that they offer “stability and support ...
A broad-gauge railway is a railway with a track gauge (the distance between the rails) broader than the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) used by standard-gauge railways.. Broad gauge of 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 + 27 ⁄ 32 in), more known as Russian gauge, is the dominant track gauge in former Soviet Union countries (CIS states, Baltic states, Georgia, Ukraine) and Mongolia.
