  2. Whippletree (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whippletree_(mechanism)

    It also keeps a point load from pulling the traces in onto the sides of the animal. If several animals are used abreast, further whippletrees may be used behind the first. Thus, with two animals, each has its own whippletree, and a further one balances the loads from their two whippletrees—an arrangement sometimes known as a double-tree , or ...

  3. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.

  4. Munter hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munter_hitch

    A belay system incorporating the Munter hitch is the same as any other belay system, which incorporates a belayer to tend the rope and an anchor, which secures the belay system and belayer. There are several advantages to the Munter hitch. It requires no additional hardware other than a carabiner.

  5. Taut-line hitch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taut-line_hitch

    One taut-line hitch is tied 15–30 cm from the aircraft and adjusted for tension, then a second taut-line hitch is tied 5–20 cm further from the aircraft and finished with a half-hitch. Wind-induced lift tends to pull the knot tighter, gust-induced oscillations tend to damp-out, and once the half hitch is undone, pushing the lower working ...

  6. List of friction hitch knots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_friction_hitch_knots

    A friction hitch tied around a thicker rope that can slide while unloaded, but locks when loaded. [2] [3] Similar to the Prusik. Michoacan/Martin is a full equivalent to Gripping sailor's hitch: Pile hitch: The pile hitch is easier to tie than the icicle hitch, and can be tied in the bight without access to either end of the rope. Prusik or Prussik

  8. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  9. Anti-roll bar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-roll_bar

    Anti-roll bar (in red) attached to a front axle. The bar must also have its two longitudinal anchor points fastened solidly to transfer forces from side to side. An anti-sway or anti-roll bar is intended to reduce the lateral tilt (roll) of the vehicle on curves, sharp corners, or large bumps.
