The exterior of a tipping bucket rain gauge The interior of a tipping bucket rain gauge. The tipping bucket rain gauge consists of a funnel that collects and channels the precipitation into a small seesaw-like container. After a pre-set amount of precipitation falls, the lever tips, dumping the collected water and sending an electrical signal.
Exterior of a Stevenson screen. A Stevenson screen or instrument shelter is a shelter or an enclosure used to protect meteorological instruments against precipitation and direct heat radiation from outside sources, while still allowing air to circulate freely around them. [1]
Rain showers followed in the days after the incident, and heavy rains followed later, causing further damage by flooding and eroding the open pits of sewage. [1] [15] [16] Once water service was restored, residents were told to conserve water, boil the water if they needed to drink it, and avoid flushing toilets as much as possible. The open ...
The Louisville Water Company has been in operation since 1860. First known as "The Water Works", the company served water to 512 customers. [1] Water delivery began on 6 October 1860. [2] In 1879, the Crescent Hill Reservoir, developed by Charles Hermany and with a capacity of 100 million gallon, opened to retain more mud from the water ...
Water gauge on a steam locomotive. Here the water is at the “top nut”, the maximum working level. Note the patterned backplate to help reading and toughened glass shroud. A sight glass or water gauge is a type of level sensor, a transparent tube through which the operator of a tank or boiler can observe the level of liquid contained within.
As was the case previously, the heavy-truck line was split into aerodynamically optimized semitractors (the newly renamed Aeromax 9500) and vocational/severe-service trucks. In the case of the latter, the popularity of the Louisville nickname led Ford to drop the L-series nomenclature and adopt the Louisville nameplate officially. 1996 models
MSD Ignition was the first company in the world to experiment with Multiple Spark Discharge for the ignition system of internal combustion engines in 1970. The idea was first proposed by a group of engineers working on the White Sands Missile Range in southern New Mexico. The engineers worked for the research and development company Autotronic ...
The linear relationship between the MSD and time t allows for graphical methods to determine the diffusivity constant D. This is especially useful for rough calculations of the diffusivity in environmental systems. In some atmospheric dispersion models, the relationship between MSD and time t is not linear. Instead, a series of power laws ...
