Tillman IV – Using the sextuple turrets and layout of "Tillman II", Tillman IV retained the 18-inch belt of "Tillman I" in exchange for dropping speed to 25.2 knots, all with an increase in displacement to 80,000 tons. Tillman IV-1 – One of the two sub-designs that came out of refinement of Tillman IV. Armed instead with 13 18-inch guns in ...
The term sextuple is mainly used in the sports press for winning six important national and international titles in sport, especially in football, within one sporting year or season. During a football season, clubs typically take part in a number of national competitions, such as in a league and one or more cup competitions, and sometimes in ...
88 Tauri is a sextuple star system, meaning that it contains six stars in a hierarchical orbit. The brighter component, 88 Tauri A, is a quadruple system consisting of two spectroscopic binaries orbiting each other with an orbital period of 18 years. The fainter component, 88 Tauri B, is also a spectroscopic binary, and is about 69 arcseconds ...

TIC 168789840, also known as TYC 7037-89-1, [5] is a stellar system with six stars. [6] [4] Three pairs of binary stars circle a common barycenter.While other systems with three pairs of stars have been discovered, this was the first system where the stars can be observed eclipsing one another, as the Earth lies approximately on their planes of rotation.
A railway line with six parallel tracks, or a sextuple-track railway, has three tracks in each direction. The corresponding term is "sextuplication". There are also instances of railway lines or sections with eight tracks, and cases with three or five tracks. All experience similar upsides and downsides.
Sextupolar fields are non-linear (i.e. they depend on the product of the sizes of the transverse displacements), and have terms which depend on both the horizontal and vertical offsets (i.e. they are coupled).
The light was electrified in 1927, [15] when the optic was replaced by a biform (i.e. two-tier) third-order sextuple-flashing rotating catadioptric optic, designed and built by Chance Brothers; the light had a range of 17 nmi (31 km; 20 mi) and displayed six quick flashes in 7.5 seconds.
