C&C Yachts was a builder of high-performance fiberglass monohull sailboats with production facilities in Canada, Germany, and the United States. [1] C&C designed and constructed a full range of production line cruiser-racer boats, as well as custom one-off and short production run racing and cruising boats.
C&C 30-1 (Mark 1) This model was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian, introduced in 1973 and over 800 were built. [9] It has a length overall of 30.00 ft (9.1 m), a waterline length of 24.92 ft (7.6 m), displaces 8,000 lb (3,629 kg), carries 3,450 lb (1,565 kg) of lead ballast and has a masthead sloop rig.
Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...
The C&C 44 was produced in two versions, Grand Prix and Custom. [4] A small amount of pre-preg fibreglass laminates were used for the hull and a spar from Hall Spars with four-spreaders. [ 4 ] The boats have full-height and full-length longitudinal stiffeners, and honeycomb panels with carbon fiber reinforced polymer skins.
The Perry-designed boats, such as the Mirage 33 and the Mirage 30, sold very well and established the company as a builder of winning racing boats as well as family cruisers. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In the late 1970s the J/24 was the dominant racing keelboat and Steffen asked Bruce Kirby , famed for his Laser dinghy, to design a competitor, the Kirby 25 ...
Common rail fuel system on a Volvo truck engine. In 1916 Vickers pioneered the use of mechanical common rail systems in G-class submarine engines. For every 90° of rotation, four plunger pumps allowed a constant injection pressure of 3,000 pounds per square inch (210 bar; 21 MPa), with fuel delivery to individual cylinders being shut off by valves in the injector lines.

Track gauge conversion is the changing of one railway track gauge (the distance between the running rails) to another. In general, requirements depend on whether the conversion is from a wider gauge to a narrower gauge or vice versa, on how the rail vehicles can be modified to accommodate a track gauge conversion, and on whether the gauge conversion is manual or automated.
Heaters exist for various types of fuel, including solid fuels, liquids, and gases. Another type of heat source is electricity, normally heating ribbons composed of high resistance wire (see Nichrome). This principle is also used for baseboard heaters and portable heaters. Electrical heaters are often used as backup or supplemental heat for ...
