Ship models or model ships are scale models of ships. They can range in size from 1/6000 scale wargaming miniatures to large vessels capable of holding people. [1] Ship modeling is a craft as old as shipbuilding itself, stretching back to ancient times when water transport was first developed.
Following the patent and release of Harold's Long Scale calculator featuring two knobs on the outside rim in 1914, he designed the Magnum Long Scale calculator in 1927. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] As the name "Magnum" implies, it was a fairly large device at 4.5 inches in diameter—about 1.5 inches more than Fowler's average non-Magnum-series calculators. [ 8 ]
Fuller calculator, Fuller-Bakewell model of 1928. The Fuller calculator, sometimes called Fuller's cylindrical slide rule, is a cylindrical slide rule with a helical main scale taking 50 turns around the cylinder. This creates an instrument of considerable precision – it is equivalent to a traditional slide rule 25.40 metres (1,000 inches) long.
1:48 1⁄4" scale used for Queensland sugar cane railways[17] and US subjects[18] of 3 ft 6 in. (1,067 mm) ^ O21 – [1] 3 ft (914 mm) ^ O16.5 – UK 7 mm scale with 00 16.5 mm gauge, used to model gauges between 2 ft (610 mm) and 2 ft 6 in (762 mm). ^ O14 – Finescale modelling of British 2ft gauge using 7 mm O scale and a unique 14 mm gauge.
Dollhouse for a dollhouse scale for 1:12 dollhouses. Commonly used for mini armor. Used for 12 mm, and 12.5 mm figure scale miniature wargaming. 1:128: 3 ⁄ 32 in: 2.381 mm A few rockets and some fit-in-the-box aircraft are made to this size. 1:120: 0.1 in: 2.54 mm: Model railways (TT) Derived from the scale of 1 inch equals 10 feet.TT model ...
Model railway scales and gauges are standardized in NEM 010, [1] which covers several gauges for each scale. Narrow gauges are indicated by an additional letter added after the base scale as follows: no letter = standard gauge (1,250–1,700 mm or 49.2–66.9 in) m = metre gauge (850–1,250 mm or 33.5–49.2 in) e = narrow gauge (650–850 mm ...
The dominant scale used in the United States for models of "standard gauge" trains running on 45 mm (1.772 in) track, even though 1:32 is more prototypically correct. 1:29 represents standard gauge using 2 in (50.8 mm) gauge track, the original gauge 2. This fell into disuse as gauge 1 at 1.75 inch was very close.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) is an American multinational semiconductor company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. [5] It is one of the top 10 semiconductor companies worldwide based on sales volume. [6] The company's focus is on developing analog chips and embedded processors, which account for more than 80% of its revenue. [7]
