    [1] The vang typically runs from the base of the mast to the boom. Due to the great force necessary to change the height of the boom while a boat is under sail, a line-based boom vang usually includes some sort of a pulley system. Hydraulic piston vangs are used on larger sailboats and controlled by manual or electric hydraulic pumps. [2]

  4. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knob-and-tube_wiring

    First-generation wiring systems became susceptible to abuse by homeowners who would replace blown fuses with fuses rated for higher current. This overfusing of the circuits subjects wiring to higher levels of current and risks heat damage or fire. Knob-and-tube wiring may also be damaged by building renovations. [11]

    The German Navy 4-rotor Enigma machine (M4) which was introduced for U-boat traffic on 1 February 1942. The introduction of the fourth rotor was anticipated because captured material dated January 1941 had made reference to the development of a fourth rotor wheel; [2] indeed, the wiring of the new fourth rotor had already been worked out.
