A Boston and Maine Railroad train from Boston to Rockport , consisting of a single Budd RDC car, crashed into it and was engulfed in flame, killing 12 ...
Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...
Later systems collect oil in a sump, from where it can be collected and pumped around the engine again, usually after rudimentary filtering. This system has long been the norm for larger internal combustion engines. A pumped oil system can use higher oil pressures and so makes the use of hydrostatic bearings easier. These gave a greater load ...
The plates of early locomotive boilers were joined by simple overlapping joints.This practice was satisfactory for the annular joints, running around the boiler, but in longitudinal joints, along the length of the boiler, the overlap of the plates diverted the boiler cross-section from its ideal circular shape.

Why the Lucas Oil Stadium roof was closed for Sunday’s Colts game and whether it’ll be fixed for Saturday’s game.
The roof at Lucas Oil Stadium will be closed for the Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins in Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season. The north end zone window will be open. Colts owner Jim Irsay noted ...
In a dry-sump system, the oil still falls to the base of the engine, but into a much shallower sump, where one or more scavenge pumps draw it away and transfer it to a (usually external) reservoir, where it is both cooled and de-aerated before being recirculated through the engine by a pressure pump. The sump in a dry-sump system is not ...
