An array consists of two solar cell "blankets," one on either side of a telescoping mast that extends and retracts to form the solar array wing. The mast turns on a gimbal or device to level the arrays and keep it facing the Sun.

Record 2 1992-04-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Trucks and Dollies (Materials Handling)
  • Hoisting and Lifting
CONT

When lift trucks were first introduced, they had fixed masts. This meant that the mast of the truck had to be as high as the distance that the load was to be lifted. When it was found that in some application the trucks would be traveling in low-ceiling areas and yet have the need for higher stacking, the telescoping mast was developed.
