An AEI tag attached to the side of a freight car. Automatic equipment identification (AEI) is an electronic recognition system in use with the North American railroad industry. Consisting of passive tags mounted on each side of rolling stock and active trackside readers, AEI uses RF technology to identify railroad equipment while en route.
A timing mark is an indicator used for setting the timing of the ignition system of an engine, typically found on the crankshaft pulley (as pictured) or the flywheel. [1] These have the largest radius rotating at crankshaft speed and therefore are the place where marks at one degree intervals will be farthest apart.
To separate cars, a worker must use a lever to move the locking pin that keeps the coupler closed. In Europe, some operators experimented with making fully automatic tightlock couplers by adding integral pneumatic and electric connectors, but these connections proved unreliable, and most have switched to the more common fully automatic ...
A 251.92 cubic inch (4,128.29 cm³) DOHC naturally-aspirated four-cylinder racing Offy with a 15:1 compression ratio and a 4.28125-by-4.375-inch (108.744 mm × 111.125 mm) bore and stroke could produce 420 hp (310 kW) at 6,600 rpm (1.77 hp per cubic inch, 81 kW/L) making it remarkably power-dense. Other variants of the engine produced even ...
The modern bored cylindrical lock was invented by the German-born engineer Walter Schlage [3] in 1923 [4], as an innovation on a patent filed in 1920 [5] for a lock whose installation required a face bore and surface rabbet, simplifying door preparation compared to a traditional mortise lock.
It has a 4.125-inch (104.8 mm) bore and a 3.750-inch (95.25 mm) stroke. The 400 differed from other small-blocks in that the cylinders were siamesed and therefore required 'steam' holes in the block, head gaskets, and heads to help alleviate 'hot-spots' in the cooling system at the point above the siamesed cylinders.
The High Value engine family from General Motors is a group of cam-in-block or overhead valve V6 engines.These engines feature cast iron blocks and aluminum heads, and use the same 60° vee bank as the 60° V6 family they are based on, but the new 99 mm (3.90 in) bore required offsetting the bores by 1.5 mm (0.059 in) away from the engine center line.
The engines designated with VIN code B, however had flat lifters (tappets), whereas the engines with VIN code 3 had roller lifters (tappets). Both were still called the 3.8L V6 though. The 3800 was a redesign . . ECM and sensors are different, as well as some internal changes with "hard parts" internally (on-center bore spacing, among other ...
