A retractable roof is a roof system designed to roll back the roof of a structure so that the interior of the facility is open to the outdoors. [1] Retractable roofs are sometimes referred to as operable roofs or retractable skylights. The term operable skylight, while quite similar, refers to a skylight that opens on a hinge, rather than on a ...

The roof underlayment is used to prevent accidental penetration of rainwater or powdery snow, to prevent convective exchanges with thermal insulation, and to control the migration of water vapor. [1] It is an element of the building's thermal performance. [2] The roof underlayment is placed between the frame and the roof support.
A rotary dryer is a type of industrial dryer used to reduce or minimize the moisture content of the material it is handling by bringing it into contact with a heated gas. [1] The dryer is made up of a rotating cylinder ("drum" or "shell"), a drive mechanism, and a support structure (commonly concrete posts or a steel frame).
Work Completed: Replaced the hydraulic pump and relay of the retractable roof mechanism, replaced the supercharger (Kompressor) and drive belts, fitted a new brake master cylinder, replaced the stability control sensor, replaced the nearside headlamp, replaced the non-original CLK wheels with SLK alloy wheels which had newer tyres, replaced the ...
The finished roof's thickness is usually between 30 and 120 mils (thousandths of an inch; 0.75 mm to 1.50 mm). The most commonly used cured elastomer membranes are ethylene propylene diene monomer (commonly EPDM ) and neoprene, although all thermoset products combined fail to account for more than 10% of all commercial roofing.
Ford's design was also the first series produced coupé convertible featuring a roof using two segments, and during its production run, the Skyliner was the only hardtop convertible available. [3] The Skyliner's retractable top operated via a complex mechanism that folded the front of the roof and retracted it under the rear decklid.
The 6.4 mm (1 ⁄ 4 in) and 7.9 mm (5 ⁄ 16 in) sizes are generally used for single hung windows, while the two larger sizes are used for double hung windows. As 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) is not a common size, the 7.9 mm (5 ⁄ 16 in) thickness may be used instead and shimmed as needed. They come in a variety of colors including unpainted, white ...
