A pulley elbow is a device that contains a ball bearing sheave (pulley) which guides stainless steel cable 90 degrees around the sheave. It is defined as a device used to change direction for stainless steel wire cable, which is housed in conduit and is used to connect to a cable operated manual pull station, a mechanical gas valve, and/or the fusible link detection, from the Ansul AUTOMAN Regulated Release Mechanism. It is used because bending conduit results in too much friction loss in the movement of the cable in the conduit. There are two types of pulley elbows. Part No. 415670 has socket ends with set screws for ½ in. conduit, and Part No. 423250 has compression ring ends also for ½ in. conduit.

The motion induced in a gyroscope by an applied force follows a simple rule. When the spinning top, for example, is acted upon by a gravity-induced torque, the original rotational motion tries to align itself with the added rotational motion of the torque.

Pendule gyroscopique. Pendule libre. Le toupie gyroscopique est entraînée à vitesse constante. Le moteur de précession qui est dans le plan de symétrie du berceau n'est pas commandé. Quand on lâche le berceau, le couple de gravité fait tourner le berceau autour de son axe horizontal perpendiculaire à son plan de symétrie jusqu'à tomber sur la butée. Cette vitesse de rotation induit un couple gyroscopique qui fait basculer la toupie autour de son axe de précession malgré la résistance du réducteur du moteur de précession. 1, record 11, French, - but%C3%A9e

A most important aspect of constructing a gyroscope is to mount the rotating wheel so that it is free of all unwanted torques. If this can be achieved, the spin vector of the gyroscope does not change from its initial value and hence always points in the same direction with respect to the fixed stars. The gyroscope thus can function as an excellent reference direction system. 1, record 16, English, - reference%20direction%20system

Le gyroscope est un instrument dont la fonction est de mesurer la vitesse angulaire de rotation d'un système rigidement lié à son bâti. Il transforme une information mécanique (la rotation) en une information de nature analogique ou numérique (la mesure chiffrée de la vitesse de rotation). [...] Les gyroscopes classiques, mécaniques, sont basés sur la rotation rapide et entretenue d'un solide qui peut s'incliner indépendamment du bâti dans toutes les directions. Cette rotation rapide lui permet d'être très stable et d'indiquer une direction de référence [qui] permet de mesurer l'inclinaison du bâti selon trois axes de référence. 2, record 16, French, - indicateur%20de%20direction%20de%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence

It was bound to happen : gambling is heading for the information highway. In October Gaming Entertainment Television(GET), a cable-TV station based in Pittsburgh, is to start broadcasting horse-racing, poker and $1m-jackpot bingo, all of which will allow interactive gambling. At the same time, Sony's Game Show Channel, based in Los Angeles, is promising interactive versions of "Wheel of Fortune" and "The Price is Right". There is a market : 6m Americans play(by mailing in cards) the ordinary TV version of "The Price is Right".... interactivity is simply a wheeze to push up its ratings. In its first phase it will allow viewers to play for free(ie, without betting real money) and will offer small prizes to those who win. Eventually, however, it may permit real betting too. 1, record 17, English, - interactive%20gambling

Welded cans are manufactured by one of two methods, wheel or wire welding. Both are variations of a forge-welding process.... Wire welding can accommodate the use of tin plate while wheel welding is best suited for tin-free steel, TFS. When using TFS, both methods require grinders to clean the edges to be welded so that they are free of oxides and chrome surface materials. Prior to side seam welding, the body blanks are formed into cylinders and tack-welded to maintain shape and proper relationship of the edges to each other....
