   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedway_(store)

   Speedway started in 1952 as Speedway 79, the name of a fuel chain based in Michigan.Unlike other fuel station chains at the time, Speedway 79 did not have a service station to perform vehicle maintenance, but rather vending machines that focused on cigarette and soft drink sales, giving their locations the nickname "Smokes and Cokes".

4. Gas spring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_spring

   A gas spring consists of a sealed cylinder filled with a charge of high-pressure [5] gas, a piston rod attached to a piston with a sliding seal, and some oil. [1] The piston (or the cylinder wall) contains a number of channels that allow the gas to transfer between the lower chamber (between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder) and the upper chamber (between the piston and the head ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyratron

   Reference 2D21 tube is 2 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (54 mm) tall. A thyratron is a type of gas-filled tube used as a high-power electrical switch and controlled rectifier. Thyratrons can handle much greater currents than similar hard-vacuum tubes. Electron multiplication occurs when the gas becomes ionized, producing a phenomenon known as a Townsend discharge.

6. Shock absorber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_absorber

   It also does not have a compression valve, whose role has been taken up by the dividing piston, and although it contains nitrogen gas, the gas in a mono-tube shock is under high pressure (260-360 p.s.i. or so) which can actually help it to support some of the vehicle's weight, something which no other shock absorber is designed to do.

7. Hydropneumatic suspension - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_suspension

   The principles illustrated by the successful use of hydropneumatic suspension are now used in a broad range of applications, such as aircraft oleo struts and gas filled automobile shock absorbers, first patented in the U.S. in 1934 [31] by Cleveland Pneumatic Tool Co. Similar systems are also widely used on modern tanks and other large military ...
