The most common use of the term "track gauge" refers to the transverse distance between the inside surfaces of the two load-bearing rails of a railway track, usually measured at 12.7 millimetres (0.50 inches) to 15.9 millimetres (0.63 inches) below the top of the rail head in order to clear worn corners and allow for rail heads having sloping ...
LOA (length overall) & LWL (length at the waterline) Detailed hull dimensions A vessel's length at the waterline (abbreviated to L.W.L) [1] is the length of a ship or boat at the level where it sits in the water (the waterline).
A taffrail should not be confused with a pushpit, which is a common name for the tubular protection rail running around the stern of a small yacht. [ 6 ] A taffrail log is a mechanical speed logging device, used like a car odometer .
Immortalized by Jack and Rose in the famous movie scene, a significant part of the railing on the Titanic’s bow has fallen off the iconic ship, new images show. “We are saddened by this loss ...
The rail profile is the cross sectional shape of a railway rail, perpendicular to its length. Early rails were made of wood, cast iron or wrought iron.

Shaped like a U, the pontoon resembles a miniature floating dock, and consists of two parallel decks joined by a submerged framework. Tanks give the necessary buoyancy. When the flying-boat has landed, it is warped into position by the ground crew, and is drawn tail-first into the pontoon, coming to rest with the hull between the two sections ...
