  2. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Every engineering drawing must have a title block. [13] [14] [15] The title block (T/B, TB) is an area of the drawing that conveys header-type information about the drawing, such as: Drawing title (hence the name "title block") Drawing number; Part number(s) Name of the design activity (corporation, government agency, etc.)

  3. Constraint (computer-aided design) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint_(computer-aided...

    The shaft and pulleys share a common centerline. The constraints of the key are set in relation to the keyseat. A constraint in computer-aided design (CAD) software is a limitation or restriction imposed by a designer or an engineer upon geometric properties [1]: 203 of an entity of a design model (i.e. sketch) that maintains its structure as the model is manipulated.

  4. Mechanical systems drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_systems_drawing

    A fabrication is made up of many different parts. A fabrication drawing has a list of parts that make up the fabrication. In the list, parts are identified (balloons and leader lines) and complex details are included: welding details, material standards, codes, and tolerances, and details about heat/stress treatments. and also [2]

  5. Color rendering index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index

    Researchers use daylight as the benchmark to which to compare color rendering of electric lights. In 1948, daylight was described as the ideal source of illumination for good color rendering because "it (daylight) displays (1) a great variety of colors, (2) makes it easy to distinguish slight shades of color, and (3) the colors of objects around us obviously look natural".

  7. North light (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_light_(architecture)

    Because the sun passes to the south of most observers in the northern hemisphere, north light is the light coming from the sky, rather than directly from the sun.This is the reason for its diffused nature, as well as why it casts softer shadows than direct sunlight and remains more consistent in colour than light from the east or west (which would be affected by sunrise and sunset respectively).

  8. Architectural light shelf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_light_shelf

    A light shelf is a horizontal surface that reflects daylight deep into a building. Light shelves are placed above eye-level and have high-reflectance upper surfaces, which reflect daylight onto the ceiling and deeper into the space. Light shelves are typically used in high-rise and low-rise office buildings, as well

  9. Cant (road and rail) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cant_(road_and_rail)

    In curved railway tracks, the outer rail is elevated, providing a banked turn. This allows trains to navigate curves at higher speeds and reduces the pressure of the wheel flanges against the rails, minimizing friction and wear. The difference in elevation between the outer and inner rails is referred to as cant in most countries.
