Google Translate is a multilingual neural machine translation service developed by Google to translate text, documents and websites from one language into another. It offers a website interface, a mobile app for Android and iOS, as well as an API that helps developers build browser extensions and software applications. [3]
Cross-section of 4-rail dual-gauge track (standard and metre gauge/ narrow gauge) (click to enlarge) Cross-section of Australian dual-gauge track – 1600 mm (5 ft 3 in) and 1435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) gauges (click to enlarge) Mixed gauge track at Sassari, Sardinia: 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) standard gauge and 950 mm (3 ft 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in)
A broad gauge, it is the second-widest gauge in regular use anywhere in the world, with only Indian gauge railways, 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm), being wider (by 8 mm (5 ⁄ 16 in)). As finally established in 1955, [ 1 ] the Iberian gauge is a compromise between the similar, but slightly different, gauges adopted as respective national standards in ...
In narrow curves, long cars like this 26.4 m (86 ft 7 in) long express train car protrude further into the gauge than on a straight track. (180° curve near Königstein im Taunus ) A structure gauge , also called the minimum structure outline , is a diagram or physical structure that sets limits to the extent that bridges, tunnels and other ...
a cylindrical ring of steel whose inside diameter is finished to gauge tolerance and is used for checking the external diameter of a cylindrical object. Strain gauge: a device used to measure the strain of an object. Thread pitch gauge, also called a threading gauge, pitch gauge, or screw gauge a device used to measure the pitch or lead of ...
Dual-gauge tracks are more expensive to configure with signals and sidings, and to maintain, than two separate single-gauge tracks. It is therefore usual to build dual-gauge or other multi-gauge tracks only when necessitated by lack of space or when tracks of two different gauges meet in marshalling yards or passenger stations.
Gauge block, a metal or ceramic block of precisely known dimension, used in measuring; Sight glass, also known as a water gauge, for measuring liquid level heights in storage tanks and pressure vessels; Boost gauge, a gauge used in conjunction with turbo-super-chargers; Pressure gauge or vacuum gauge, see pressure measurement
Gauge blocks (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks) are a system for producing precision lengths. The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths.
