  2. Steam locomotive components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

    The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era. Some components shown are not the same as, or are not present, on some locomotives – for example, on smaller or articulated types. Conversely, some locomotives have components not listed here.

  3. Revolute joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolute_joint

    A revolute joint (also called pin joint or hinge joint) is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used frequently in mechanisms and machines. [1] The joint constrains the motion of two bodies to pure rotation along a common axis.

  4. Schematic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schematic

    A schematic, or schematic diagram, is a designed representation of the elements of a system using abstract, graphic symbols rather than realistic pictures. A schematic usually omits all details that are not relevant to the key information the schematic is intended to convey, and may include oversimplified elements in order to make this essential meaning easier to grasp, as well as additional ...

  5. Kirby calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_calculus

    An extended set of diagrams and moves are used for describing 4-manifolds. A framed link in the 3-sphere encodes instructions for attaching 2-handles to the 4-ball. (The 3-dimensional boundary of this manifold is the 3-manifold interpretation of the link diagram mentioned above.) 1-handles are denoted by either

  6. Slide hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_Hammer

    A slide hammer is a tool that attaches to an object needing to be pulled and transmits an impact force to the object without striking the object itself. Slide hammers typically consist of a long metal shaft with an attachment point at one end, a heavy weight that can slide along the shaft , and a stop for the weight to impact on the end ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_Slide

    A SIG Sauer P226 with slide closed (top) and opened (bottom). On the bottom view, slide is locked to the rear by the slide stop. The slide on the majority of fully/semi-automatic pistols is the upper part that reciprocates ("slides") with recoil during the gun's operating cycle.

  8. Microscope slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microscope_slide

    A microscope slide (top) and a cover slip (bottom) A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing. This ...

  9. Evacuation slide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evacuation_slide

    Evacuation slide used in an emergency drill. An evacuation slide is an inflatable slide used to evacuate an aircraft quickly. An escape slide is required on all commercial (passenger carrying) aircraft where the door sill height is such that, in the event of an evacuation, passengers would be unable to step down from the door uninjured (Federal Aviation Administration requires slides on all ...
