  2. Buffers and chain coupler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffers_and_chain_coupler

    Narrow gauge flat wagons, 750 mm (2 ft 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in).Note the single buffer with a hook on the right side and a chain on the other. On some narrow-gauge lines in Europe, and on the Paris Metro, a simplified version of the loose-coupler is used, consisting of a single central buffer with a chain underneath.

  3. Buffer stop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_stop

    The design of the buffer stop is dependent, in part, on the kind of couplings that the railway uses, since the coupling gear is the first part of the vehicle that the buffer stop touches. The term "buffer stop" is of British origin, since railways in Great Britain principally use buffer-and-screw couplings between vehicles.

  4. Railway coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_coupling

    The Norwegian coupler allows sharper curves than the buffer and chain coupler, which is an advantage on narrow gauge railways where low speeds and reduced train loads allow a simpler system. The Norwegian coupler is found only on narrow gauge railways of 1,067 mm ( 3 ft 6 in ), 1,000 mm ( 3 ft 3 + 3 ⁄ 8 in ) or less in Great Britain and its ...

  5. Buffer (rail transport) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_(rail_transport)

    A pneumatic buffer with sections cut away. A buffer is a part of the buffers and chain coupler system used on the railway systems of many countries, among them most of those in Europe, for attaching railway vehicles together (in North America, rolling stock instead has draft gear built into the couplers).

  6. End-of-train device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-train_device

    A "dumb" ETD can be as simple as a red flag attached to the coupler on the last car of the train, whereas "smart" devices monitor functions such as brake line pressure and accidental separation of the train using a motion sensor, functions that were previously monitored by a crew in the caboose. [1]

  7. Exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_system

    Exhaust system of the Opel Corsa B 1.2 petrol Exhaust manifold (chrome plated) on a car engine. An exhaust system is used to guide reaction exhaust gases away from a controlled combustion inside an engine or stove. The entire system conveys burnt gases from the engine and includes one or more exhaust pipes. Depending on the overall system ...

  8. Scavenging (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scavenging_(engine)

    The first engines deliberately designed to encourage scavenging were gas engines built by Crossley Brothers Ltd in the United Kingdom in the early 1890s. These Crossley Otto Scavenging Engines were made possible by the recent change from slide valves to poppet valves, which allowed more flexible control over valve timing events. [1]

  9. Meredith effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meredith_Effect

    The North American P-51 Mustang makes significant use of the Meredith effect in its belly radiator design. [1]The Meredith effect is a phenomenon whereby the aerodynamic drag produced by a cooling radiator may be offset by careful design of the cooling duct such that useful thrust is produced by the expansion of the hot air in the duct.
