SELF-PROPELLED ON WHEELS

SELF-PROPELLED GUNS ON WHEELSThe first attempts to improve operational mobility artillery through the installation of various caliber guns on tracked or wheeled chassis has been made at the beginning of XX century. There was a certain bias towards the latter, that was no accident. Crawler tractors, and then the tanks were not only much more difficult technically, but much more expensive. Tactics combat use of armored units in 1920 — 1930-e years have not yet been worked out. The role and place of self-propelled artillery clearly were not visible, and most self-propelled artillery as such did not exist. So developers saw significant advantages crawler front wheel. Moreover, the automotive industry in that period had developed rapidly. New impetus for the creation of self-propelled guns on a wheeled chassis gave the appearance of vehicles. The most successful design of this kind admittedly French SPG chassis truck-terrain vehicle Laffly, armed with 47mm anti-tank gun.

SECOND COUNTS… “MOUSE”

COUNTING SECONDS... Currently available a variety of models of wall elektromekhanicheski quartz watches with stepper motor. They are, as a rule, uses unpackaged integrated circuit — the oscillator/divider with an external quartz resonator coated with black compound. And had to happen that this e-node has failed in the clock, served me faithfully for years.

ECONOMICAL VELOPLIVD

Almost all designs drive bikes have a common drawback that reduces their efficiency. This defect is uneconomical expenditure of muscular energy in the change efforts from one foot to the other during the passage of the pedals ‘dead spots’ (the vertical position of the connecting rod). A large part of the muscular effort at this point is directed to the axis of rotation of the pedals and not so much does the useful work, how much increases the wear of the bearings of the carriage. No wonder the cyclists before the withdrawal of the rods from the vertical position. As a result the course begins with partial loss of muscular energy, which causes premature fatigue of the cyclist.

THE FASTEST FIGHTER AIRCRAFT OF THE SECOND WORLD

THE FASTEST FIGHTER OF WWIIThe priority of the German aircraft industry in jet aircraft does not diminish the role of other countries that have joined before the Second world war in the “reactive” race. And each of them has contributed to this difficult process. Am Cradle started to design the turbojet engine (TRD) in the mid-thirties of the last century and do not start a war, probably would have completed it before.

THE EFFECTS UNIT IS FOR SOLO GUITAR

EFFECTS UNIT FOR Before describing the operation of the device as a whole will focus on one of its constituent elements — the Converter of the spectrum of the electrical signal, or “FUZZ”device. To To obtain this effect, it is necessary to enrich the original signal a large number of odd harmonics. There are several ways, and thus the schemes to achieve them. We will stop at the spectrum Converter, which is a ULF with parapremium.
