A "Drop in Boomerang" is designed to mount into the color slot of a lighting fixture and provide the operator with several manually selected gels. Most often this accessory is seen in conjunction with the followspot yoke , when a fixture is being used as a small replacement followspot .
On a bicycle, the cassette or cluster [1] is the set of multiple sprockets that attaches to the hub on the rear wheel. A cogset works with a rear derailleur to provide multiple gear ratios to the rider. Cassettes come in two varieties, freewheels or cassettes, of which cassettes are a newer development. Although cassettes and freewheels perform ...
A freehub is a type of bicycle hub that incorporates a ratcheting mechanism. A set of sprockets (called a " cassette ") is mounted onto a splined shaft of the freehub to engage the chain . The ratcheting mechanism is a part of the hub, in contrast to a freewheel , an older technology, which contains both the sprockets and a ratcheting mechanism ...
Skirt guard or coatguard: a device fitted over the rear wheel of a bicycle to prevent a long skirt, coat or other trailing clothes or luggage from catching in the wheel, or in the gap between the rim and the brakes; Spindle: an axle around which a pedal rotates; threaded at one end to screw into crank arms; Spoke: connects wheel rim to hub ...
Remote Device Management (RDM) is an addition to the DMX512 control protocol for stage lighting equipment, introduced in 2006. DMX512 was developed in the late 1980s as a standard protocol for lighting consoles to communicate with dimmers, but has since been used for more complex applications, including the control of intelligent lighting fixtures.
A dropout is a type of fork end [3] that allows the rear wheel to be removed without first derailing the chain. Track bicycle frames have track fork ends, on which the opening faces rearwards. Because they do not have dropouts, the chain must be derailed from the sprocket before the rear wheel can be removed from a typical track bike.
A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle in British usage, [citation needed] commonly known in some places as a fixie [1]) is a bicycle that has a drivetrain with no freewheel mechanism such that the pedals always will spin together with the rear wheel. The freewheel was developed early in the history of bicycle design but the fixed-gear ...
Unlike regular bicycles, a front freewheel can make it possible to shift gears using a derailleur while the rider is coasting if paired with a fixed rear hub or a freehub with a slight resistance in the freewheel mechanism, which causes the chain to continue spinning with the wheel rotation. [1]
