    The company name changed once again in 1965 to Eaton Yale & Towne Inc. after the acquisition of Yale & Towne Manufacturing Co. in 1963. Stockholders approved the change to the company's current name in 1971. In 1978, Eaton Corporation acquired Samuel Moore & Company, Kenway Systems, and Cutler-Hammer. [5] [6] [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armement_Air-Sol_Modulaire

    'Modular Air-to-Ground Armament'), [6] [7] also known as AASM Hammer ("Hammer" standing for "Highly Agile Modular Munition Extended Range"), [8] is a French, all-weather, smart air-to-surface stand-off weapon developed by Safran Electronics & Defense. Meant for both close air support and deep strike missions, the AASM is highly modular.

    Effective range: The maximum range at which a particular firearm can accurately hit a target. Electronic firing: The use of an electric current to fire a cartridge, instead of a percussion cap. In an electronic-fired firearm an electric current is used instead to ignite the propellant, which fires the cartridge as soon as the trigger is pulled.

  5. Design load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_load

    A crane's rated load is its Safe Working Load (SWL) and the design load (DL) is, (p 90) [1] = The dynamic lift factor for offshore cranes in the range 10 kN < SWL ≤ 2500 kN is not less than =.(p 84) [1] Thus for a crane with a SWL of 2000 kN (~200 tonne) its design load is not less than, = = The minimum breaking load (MBL) for the combined capacity of reeves of a steel wire hoisting rope ...

  6. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    With a compressive load on a test specimen it will become shorter and spread laterally so its cross sectional area increases and the true compressive stress is ´ = / and the engineering stress is = / The cross sectional area and consequently the stress ( ´) are uniform along the length of the specimen because there are no external lateral ...

  7. Hammer (firearms) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammer_(firearms)

    The hammer itself is a metal piece that forcefully rotates about a pivot point. [2] The term tumbler can refer to a part of the hammer or a part mechanically attached to the pivot-point of the hammer, depending on the particular firearm under discussion (see half-cock). According to one source the term tumbler is synonymous with hammer. [3] [4]

  8. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    The tyre load index (LI) on a passenger-car tire is a two- or three-digit numerical code used to cross-reference a load & inflation table that will give the maximum load each tire can carry at a given pressure. The load index is sometimes used in conjunction with the load range, which appears elsewhere on the tire.

  9. Double-barreled shotgun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-barreled_shotgun

    Generally the shotguns are regulated to hit the point of aim at a given distance, [10] usually the maximum expected range since that is the range at which a full choke is used, and where precise regulation matters most. The regulation is usually more important in side-by-side, rather than in over-and-under shotguns, as felt recoil differs.
