    On April 7, 1964, IBM announced the IBM System/360, to be available in six models. [3] [4] [5] The 360/40 was first delivered in April 1965.[6]The 360/30 and the 360/40 were the two largest revenue producing System/360 models, [7] accounting for over half of the units sold.

  3. Ignition timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignition_timing

    Pressure in cylinder pattern in dependence on ignition timing: (a) - misfire, (b) too soon, (c) optimal, (d) too late. In a spark ignition internal combustion engine, ignition timing is the timing, relative to the current piston position and crankshaft angle, of the release of a spark in the combustion chamber near the end of the compression stroke.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSA_B40

    The BSA B40 was a series of 350 cc (21 cu in) unit construction single-cylinder OHV four-stroke motorcycles made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company.Developed from the BSA C15, the machines were produced between 1961 and 1967 for civilian use.

  5. Variable valve timing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing

    The timing, duration and lift of these valve events has a significant impact on engine performance. Without variable valve timing or variable valve lift, the valve timing is the same for all engine speeds and conditions, therefore compromises are necessary to achieve the desired result in intake and exhaust efficiency . This has been described ...

  6. BMW M40 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M40

    [1] [2] It served as BMW's base model four-cylinder engine and was produced alongside the higher performance BMW M42 DOHC four-cylinder engine from 1989 onwards. Compared with its M10 predecessor, the M40 uses a belt-driven camshaft, [3] and hydraulic tappets. Like the M10, the M40 uses an iron block and an aluminium head.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRIG_timecode

    Atomic frequency standards and GPS receivers designed for precision timing are often equipped with an IRIG output. The standards were created by the Tele Communications Working Group of the U.S. military's Inter-Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG), the standards body of the Range Commanders Council .

  8. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    A manual transmission (MT), also known as manual gearbox, standard transmission (in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States), or stick shift (in the United States), is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system where gear changes require the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick and clutch (which is usually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods-time_measurement

    Methods-Time Measurement (MTM) is a predetermined motion time system that is used primarily in industrial settings to analyze the methods used to perform any manual operation or task and, as a product of that analysis, to set the standard time in which a worker should complete that task.
