  2. Rake (tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_(tool)

    Typically, a landscaping rake boasts a head measuring 30 to 38 inches or even broader, featuring steel tines set at a 90-degree angle to the handle. A stone rake is similar to a landscape rake, but with a narrower head of about 18 to 28 inches and is constructed from steel or aluminum. The head sits at a 90-degree angle to the handle.

  3. Rake angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rake_angle

    In machining, the rake angle is a parameter used in various cutting processes, describing the angle of the cutting face relative to the workpiece. There are three types of rake angles: positive, zero or neutral, and negative. Positive rake: A tool has a positive rake when the face of the cutting tool slopes away from the cutting edge at inner side.

    The orientation of the lineation can then be calculated from the rake and strike-dip information of the plane it was measured from, using a stereographic projection. If a fault has lineations formed by movement on the plane, e.g.; slickensides, this is recorded as a lineation, with a rake, and annotated as to the indication of throw on the fault.

  5. Propeller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller

    Rake is the angle of the blade to a radius perpendicular to the shaft. Skew is the tangential offset of the line of maximum thickness to a radius The propeller characteristics are commonly expressed as dimensionless ratios: [31] Pitch ratio PR = propeller pitch/propeller diameter, or P/D; Disk area A 0 = πD 2 /4

  6. Raster scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_scan

    The word raster comes from the Latin word rastrum (a rake), which is derived from radere (to scrape); see also rastrum, an instrument for drawing musical staff lines. The pattern left by the lines of a rake, when drawn straight, resembles the parallel lines of a raster: this line-by-line scanning is what creates a raster.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    The assembly drawing gives the drawing numbers of the subsequent detailed components, quantities required, construction materials and possibly 3D images that can be used to locate individual items. Although mostly consisting of pictographic representations, abbreviations and symbols are used for brevity and additional textual explanations may ...

  8. Cornice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornice

    A rake is an architectural term for an eave or cornice that runs along the gable of the roof of a modern residential structure. It may also be called a sloping cornice, a raking cornice. The trim and rafters at this edge are called rakes, rake board, rake fascia, verge-boards, barge-boards or verge-or barge-rafters. [3]

  9. Sightline (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sightline_(architecture)

    To ensure this designers utilize the C-value, defined as the vertical distance from a spectator's eyes to sightline of the spectator directly behind. The C-value is determined in part by the rake, that is, the upward slope of the seating. [3] The stadium bowl rake if based on consistent C-values will follow a parabolic curve in section.
