The farm cart was a two-wheeled vehicle used for all types of farm work. It benefited, over the wagon, in having only two wheels which could be transferred and used with other cart bodies. Tasks in which they were employed included manure spreading, harvesting and other agricultural tasks. They were drawn by one horse in shafts or two in tandem.... Bodies varied, some with bow-sided and some as flat loading vehicles. Floorboards were set longitudinally rather than crosswise to make cleaning and scraping out easier. 1, record 2, English, - farm%20cart

The project is named the Autonomous Space Processor for Orbital Debris(ASPOD) and is a NASA/Universities Space Research Association(USRA) sponsored design project. The development of ASPOD and the students’ abilities in designing and building a prototype spacecraft are the ultimate goals of this project. This year's focus entailed the development of a secondary robotic arm and end-effector to work in tandem with an existent arm in the removal of orbital debris. The new arm features the introduction of composite materials and a linear drive system, thus producing a light-weight and more accurate prototype. The main characteristic of the end-effector design is that it incorporates all of the motors and gearing internally, thus not subjecting them to the harsh space environment. Furthermore, the arm and the end-effector are automated by a control system with positional feedback. This system is composed of magnetic and optical encoders connected to a 486 PC via two servo-motor controller cards. Programming a series of basic routines and sub-routines has allowed the ASPOD prototype to become more autonomous. The new system is expected to perform specified tasks with a positional accuracy of 0. 5 cm. 2, record 3, English, - autonomous%20space%20processor%20for%20orbital%20debris
