In 1948, Toro acquired Whirlwind Corp. and introduced a bagging system to rotary mowers. [8] It created its first snowblower in 1951, and in 1956 was the first lawn and garden manufacturer to advertise on television. [9] Toro purchased an irrigation equipment manufacturer in 1962 and entered the underground irrigation business. [9]
A snow blower or snowblower or snow thrower is a machine for removing snow from an area where it is problematic, such as a driveway, sidewalk, roadway, railroad track, ice rink, or runway. The commonly used term "snow blower" is a misnomer, as the snow is moved using an auger or impeller instead of being blown (by air).
Principal view of the pumping action of a twin-screw pump with a six-lobe female screw and a five-lobe male screw. A compressor (as opposed to a pump) would be shaped the same way, except that the shape of the lobes would change along the length of the screw, so that the volume of the trapped pockets would get squeezed smaller as they get closer to the exhaust port.
A set screw is often headless and threaded along its entire length, so that it will sit entirely inside that hole; in which case it may be called a grub screw or blind screw. Once fully and firmly screwed into the first object, the projecting tip of the set screw presses hard against the second object, acting like a clamp .
Rotary screw compressors are commercially produced in Oil Flooded, Water Flooded and Dry type. The efficiency of rotary compressors depends on the air drier, [clarification needed] and the selection of air drier is always 1.5 times volumetric delivery of the compressor. [9] Designs with a single screw [10] or three screws [11] instead of two exist.

A 6-bladed Hamilton Standard 568F propeller on an ATR 72 short-haul airliner. Lowry [27] quotes a propeller efficiency of about 73.5% at cruise for a Cessna 172.This is derived from his "Bootstrap approach" for analyzing the performance of light general aviation aircraft using fixed pitch or constant speed propellers.
