A speed hump is a raised area of a roadway, which deflects both the wheels and frame of a traversing vehicle. It is longer than the wheelbase of most cars; this feature distinguishes it from a speed bump. 3, record 5, English, - speed%20bump
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Many people confuse the term speed hump with speed bump. Vehicles traversing a properly designed speed hump at a reasonable speed, i.e. 30 km/h, can drive with relative ease across the hump. Speed bumps, on the other hand, are sometimes installed on private roadways and in commercial parking lots and can be very abrupt and jarring to motorists. 3, record 5, English, - speed%20bump

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The straddle truck can be considered a true non-counterbalanced vehicle because the load capacity and stability of this vehicle are obtained from outrigger arms that straddle the load, hence the name straddle truck. By maintaining the load within the wheelbase of the truck, a very small and stable vehicle is possible. Because the load must be contained between the straddles, this vehicle is not suited to extemely wide loads since the width across the straddles becomes excessive and increases the aisle requirement of the machine. Straddle trucks are available in both standup rider and walkie versions. 9, record 6, English, - narrow%20aisle%20straddle%20truck

Record number: 14, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Generally bikes with a short wheelbase, steep angles, and high bottom brackets are designed for manoeuvrability and sprinting; those with a longer wheelbase and shallow angles are designed for touring and easy riding. Angles today run from about 70° to 74°, wheel bases from 38" to 42", and bottom bracket heights from 10½" to 11". Steep angles apparently give better steering, short wheelbases give both a sharper turn for a given front-wheel angle and easier acceleration when sprinting. High bottom brackets enable you to take a turn at maximum speed and keep on pedaling without scraping the inside pedal on the ground. 3, record 14, English, - bottom%20bracket%20height
