The rear wheels are located transversely by top links and wheel carriers (green) and lower links (cyan). The top link is the driving half-shaft with a universal joint at each end. The lower link pivots adjacent to the differential casing at its inboard end and where it meets the wheel carrier at the wheel hub casting (violet) at its outboard end.
The back of the carrier slid on the web belt with two long oval metal hooks and the top had a short strap that linked into the shoulder strap.

Until the mid-1950s, poured Babbitt bearings were common in automotive applications. The Babbitt was poured into the block or caps using a form. Tin-based Babbitts were used, as they could stand up to the impact loads found on the connecting rods and crankshaft. The poured Babbitt bearings were kept thin.
Identification between the two can be made by examining the hub: the protrusion of the hub through the center of the wheel denotes the preferred 10.5-inch full-floating rear axle. While the 9.5-inch rear end exhibits its own durability, it is generally considered less favorable for high-torque applications.
The PALS grid is easily visible in this image of the US Marine Corps' Interceptor Body Armor; note the pouches attached to the system in the background (2005). The Pouch Attachment Ladder System or PALS is a grid of webbing invented and patented by United States Army Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center used to attach smaller equipment onto load-bearing platforms, such ...
Since September 1, 2007, all new cars sold in the U.S. require a lap and shoulder belt in the center rear seat.

One Los Angeles case resulted in a $45 million jury verdict against Ford; the resulting $30 million judgment (after ...
Strap rail and spike. The earliest rails were simply lengths of timber. To resist wear, a thin iron strap was laid on top of the timber rail. This saved money as wood was cheaper than metal. The system had the flaw that every so often the passage of the wheels on the train would cause the strap to break away from the timber.
