  2. Curtiss Aerocar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_Aerocar

    Although the Curtiss Camp Car patent referred to a second forthcoming patent application for a Curtiss-designed fifth-wheel coupling, no such patent was submitted. Images of the Camp Car held in the archives of the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum indicate that the fifth-wheel hitch used was the commercially available Martin Rocking Fifth Wheel.

  3. Chromatic circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_circle

    The circle of fifths in 12-tone equal temperament drawn within the chromatic circle as a star dodecagon [1] For any positive integer N, one can represent all of the equal-tempered pitch classes of N-tone equal temperament by the cyclic group of order N, or equivalently, the residue classes modulo twelve, Z/NZ.

  4. Fifth-wheel coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth-wheel_coupling

    After all, the purpose of the fifth wheel is to link the tractor and the trailer; indeed, trailers existed before Charles H. Martin introduced the Martin Rocking Fifth Wheel in 1915. At the time, the fifth wheel literally was a wheel that moved with the trailer—unlike today’s technology that secures a kingpin.

  5. Pythagorean tuning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

    12-tone Pythagorean temperament is based on a sequence of perfect fifths, each tuned in the ratio 3:2, the next simplest ratio after 2:1 (the octave). Starting from D for example (D-based tuning), six other notes are produced by moving six times a ratio 3:2 up, and the remaining ones by moving the same ratio down:

  6. Meantone temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meantone_temperament

    Twelve-tone equal temperament (12 TET) is obtained by making all semitones the same size, with each equal to one-twelfth of an octave; i.e. with ratios 12 √ 2 : 1. Relative to Pythagorean tuning , it narrows the perfect fifths by about 2 cents or ⁠ 1 / 12 ⁠ th of a Pythagorean comma to give a frequency ratio of 2 7 / 12 : 1 {\displaystyle ...

  7. Musical temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament

    This phenomenon gives rise to infinite shades of key-colors, which are lost in the modern standard version: 12-tone equal temperament (12-TET). Unlike meantone temperament, which alters the fifth to "temper out" the syntonic comma, 12-TET tempers out the Pythagorean comma, thus creating a cycle of fifths that repeats itself exactly after 12 steps.

  8. Piano key frequencies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_key_frequencies

    This is a list of the fundamental frequencies in hertz (cycles per second) of the keys of a modern 88-key standard or 108-key extended piano in twelve-tone equal temperament, with the 49th key, the fifth A (called A 4), tuned to 440 Hz (referred to as A440). [1] [2] Every octave is made of twelve steps called semitones.

  9. Chromatic scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_scale

    The chromatic scale is a musical scale with twelve pitches, each a semitone, also known as a half-step, above or below its adjacent pitches. As a result, in 12-tone equal temperament (the most common tuning in Western music), the chromatic scale covers all 12 of the available pitches. Thus, there is only one chromatic scale.
