The fourth stage turbine problem has dealt with the blade attachment to the turbine wheel. The blade attaches in a configuration called a "fir tree fitting"(Fig 2). The serrations on some of the blades are slightly oversized and cause stress in the fitting. 1, record 2, English, - fir%20tree%20fitting

gimballed momentum wheel : Better attitude control and energy storage can be achieved by using a pair of counter-rotating micro wheels. This configuration enables micro-satellites to change their angular momentum and orientation with very little net change in stored energy. Likewise, energy can be extracted or added to a pair of wheels without changing the satellite's attitude. Power can be saved while using a regenerative brake state to decrease the speed, or this braking energy can be used to accelerate the other micro-wheel rotating in the opposite direction in a gimballed momentum wheel. Thus, it can sustain spacecraft with limited power during a short-term space mission. 2, record 3, English, - single%2Dgimballed%20momentum%20wheel

depressed center. Grinding wheels with a depressed center, which helps keep the mounting hardware out of the grinding process. ANSI type 27, 28 and 29 wheels fall under this category. ANSI type 27 wheels have a flat configuration with a depressed center. ANSI type 29 wheels fold back away from the workpiece and wheel center while ANSI type 28 wheels project out in front of the wheel center toward the workpiece. Depressed center wheels are applied is rough offhand grinding or snagging of castings, weld beads, flash or parting lines or defects in metal parts. 5, record 4, English, - depressed%20center%20grinding%20wheel
