SOVIET “SCOUT”

SOVIET As you know, during the Second world war armored vehicles in the USSR were made. In this respect the Red Army considerably inferior to the Wehrmacht. To some extent the problem could smooth out the supply of British and American armored vehicles under lend-lease, however, to fully equip at least mechanized infantry battalions of tank and mechanized brigades it was not enough. The main means of transportation of infantry in the red Army until the end of the war remained cars and tanks.

WAY UP

THE WAY UPTHE WAY UPIn recent years, individual housing is a kind of “silent revolution”. Increasingly, private homes, whether villas, farmhouses or country cottages — built two-and even three-storey.

ROTATES FIELD

ROTATE FIELDIn a previous article under the heading “electronics for beginners” (see “M-K” № 8, 1979) we understand how magnetic field is formed it Turned out that, in particular, generates supplied to the coil (solenoid) electric current. The same field with a certain force acts on it carried to the magnet. But the magnet with the same force acts on the wire, which carries current. On the phenomenon of the interaction of electric current and magnet based electric motors (electric motors).

“EASILY TRANSPORTED PROPERTY”

We left Russia and its underwater aspirations in a difficult moment for the country, alas, is only the first in suffering the twentieth century. Broke out in 1904, the Russo-Japanese war found Russia in a far-from-ready position. Moreover, these words can be attributed to the submarine fleet. Not just existed, there was even no development plans, no more or less suitable for “reproduction” prototype. However, the Naval Ministry had to sign an agreement with the former firm of Holland “electric boat”, for the construction at Nevsky shipyard in St. Petersburg a series of five more units in the fall of 1903. However, the chosen system (the hull was built in Russia, the equipment arrived from the US), quite reasonable for such a new business in peacetime, during the war, became a real brake. In the end, even the head “Pike” delivered to Vladivostok a few months after the fighting ended. Late to the boat from another American lake, also assembled in Russia under the scheme of peace.

But he did not have time to act before the end of the war.

It’s funny that the “Moskvich-408” has remained in my mind a real car, and not his successor, “412”, hasn’t appeared six years later supermassive VAZ-2101 “Zhiguli”. And when in the early 1990-ies I was told that a car owner, a man very advanced in years, wants to sell the car “Moskvich-408ИЭ” low mileage, in General, with very few for that time’s money, I immediately agreed with the owner about the meeting.

CLAMPS FOR SKI…

In the summer, and in winter, skiing in storage is usually associated top and bottom, inserting between any boss spacer for retaining desirable deflection.
