Two-armed wheel truing stand One-armed wheel truing stand. A wheel truing stand is a specialized tool for "truing" (straightening) bicycle wheels. [1] [2] Individual models differ slightly, but all consist of an axle stand on which the wheel can rotate and calipers, to measure slight deviations of the wheel's rim from ideal alignment.

The basic motorcycle swingarm is a quadrilateral, with one short side connected to the motorcycle's frame with bearings so that it can pivot. [14] The other short side is the rear axle around which the rear wheel turns. The long sides are connected to the motorcycle's frame or rear sub-frame with one or two shocks with coil-over springs.
The Z-drive is so named because of the appearance (in cross section) of the mechanical driveshaft or transmission configuration used to connect the mechanically supplied driving energy to the Z-drive azimuth thruster device. This form of power transmission is called a Z-drive because the rotary motion has to make two right angle turns, thus ...
An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle , making a rudder redundant. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system.
When stowed, the doors seamlessly connect to the rest parts of the engine to provide a streamlined outer surface. A pair of beams are located in the left and right of the engines with a sled in each of them. The two doors are connected to both sleds by two rods each. A hydraulic actuator connected to each sled is placed in each beam.
The new motorcycle was conceived and developed so quickly that it was not included in the 1959 Triumph catalogue. [7] With a 649 cc (39.6 in 3 ) parallel-twin (two-cylinder) engine the T120 was based on the Triumph Tiger T110 and was fitted with the Tiger's optional twin 1 3/16 in Amal Monobloc carburettors as standard, along with that model's ...
