A curved "V" (tapered) race or alley leading to a covered crush. A cattle chute (North America) or cattle race (Australia, British Isles and New Zealand) also called a run or alley, [1] is a narrow corridor built for cattle that separates them from the rest of the herd and allows handlers and veterinarians to provide medical care or restrain the animal for other procedures.
A cattle crush and an anti-bruise race in Australia. Chin (or neck) bar in operation during mouthing.. A cattle crush (in UK, New Zealand, Ireland, Botswana and Australia), squeeze chute (North America), cattle chute (North America), [1] [2] standing stock, or simply stock (North America, Ireland) is a strongly built stall or cage for holding cattle, horses, or other livestock safely while ...
Cattle grid on country road. Cattle grids are usually installed on roads where they cross a fenceline, often at a boundary between public and private lands. [5] They are an alternative to the erection of gates that would need to be opened and closed when a vehicle passes, and are common where roads cross open moorland, rangeland or common land maintained by grazing, but where segregation of ...
The gate does not swing on a conventional hinge. Instead, it is fastened to cylinders that loosely encircle a tall post. The bump gate's self-closing mechanism utilizes one or two cables from the gate's upper crossbar, terminated high on the post. When the gate swings open, the swivel action as the cables wind around the post raises the gate ...
A kissing gate is a gate that allows people, but not livestock, to pass through. The normal construction is a half-round, rectangular, trapezoidal or V-shaped part-enclosure with the free end of a hinged gate trapped between its arms. When the gate is touching an arm it must be pulled or pushed to pass through.
A plan and side view of a generic, empty canal lock. A lock chamber separated from the rest of the canal by an upper pair and a lower pair of mitre gates.The gates in each pair close against each other at an 18° angle to approximate an arch against the water pressure on the "upstream" side of the gates when the water level on the "downstream" side is lower.
The pound lock holds water between two gates, and is considerably easier to navigate. Pound locks have been built in China since 983, in the Netherlands from 1065 and in Britain from the 1560s. Nevertheless, a few flash locks remained after the introduction of pound locks.
The reactor well can be flooded and is straddled by pools separated by gates on either side for storing reactor hardware normally placed above the fuel rods, and for fuel storage. A refueling platform has a specialized telescoping mast for lifting and lowering fuel rod assemblies with precision through the "cattle chute" to the reactor core ...
