  2. Tandem rolling mill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandem_rolling_mill

    Each stand of a tandem mill is set up for rolling using the mill-stand's spring curve [clarification needed] and the compressive curve of the metal so that both the rolling force and the exit thickness of each stand are determined. For mills rolling thinner strip, bridles may be added either at the entry and/or the exit to increase the strip ...

  3. SAFER barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAFER_barrier

    Officials were able to install the system on the inside concrete wall successfully. After a re-design and further testing, the system was installed a year and a half later. The barrier received its first road course usage when Watkins Glen International adopted the SAFER barrier for key sections of the circuit, most notably in the bus stop ...

    1919 Napier Lion II aircraft engine with three cylinder banks. Any design of motor/engine,be it a V or a boxer can be called an "in-line" if it's mounted in-line with the frame/chassis and in-line with the direction of travel of the vehicle.When the motor/engine is across the frame/chassis this is called a TRANSVERSE motor.Cylinder arrangement is not in the description of how the motor/engine ...

  7. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

    A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust spent gases at the end of the cycle. In a conventional ...

  8. Slipper clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slipper_clutch

    Slipper clutches have also been used to a lesser extent on automobiles, primarily those powered by motorcycle engines. They can also be found on racing remote control cars . [ citation needed ] Some experimental aircraft use a slipper clutch to control torsional resonance in the drive train and protect the engine from shock in the event of a ...

  9. Double wishbone suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension

    In many racing cars, the springs and dampers are relocated inside the bodywork. The suspension uses a bellcrank to transfer the forces at the knuckle end of the suspension to the internal spring and damper. This is then known as a "push rod" if bump travel "pushes" on the rod (and subsequently the rod must be joined to the bottom of the upright ...
