The term jeep (jeep) appeared in the automotive world during the Second world war, when the American army began to arrive, light multipurpose vehicles developed by Willys — WILLYS MB, FORD GPW and FORD CP, which in military terminology is called “vehicle capacity quarter ton”. The sound of the letters “Dzhi-PI” quickly turned into the mouth of the drivers and mechanics in a concise and succinct term for jeep, which became the umbrella term utility AWD compact SUVs.

THE SOUND IT DESERVES
Even in the recent past 10АС9 sound system, each sound column which contains two versatile dynamic loudspeaker (one for low and medium frequencies and the other, with a diffuser of smaller diameter for higher), it was considered perfectly acceptable for a home stereo. And electrical parameters it was on a high level: power 10 W, impedance DC current 4 ohms, audio frequency response 40 to 18,000 Hz. With the advent of so-called Hi-Fi equipment these speakers have become increasingly depart among the almost Museum pieces.
SHINE EVEN BLOWN
Inspired by the originality of technical solution, published in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” No. 11’78, I modified the circuit for fluorescent lamps and for many years its use in residential lighting fixtures. As in the prototype, economical and not scarce ЛДЦ40 (ЛДЦ80) light up instantly, their work is not accompanied by annoying clicks and “wink” for missing an unreliable starter.

THE LAST ARTILLERY
If the Americans and their old and new allies after the Second world war almost completely switched light power their fleets on the task of escort and anti-submarine warfare, the Soviet fleet was absolutely other problems. With the beginning of the cold war, the Soviet Union, in fact, was in the position in which two decades ago was Japan.

However, because Stalin was going to continue its policy of challenging the world domination of the United States, the development of the Navy was deemed necessary. And the way this development (with the obvious and undeniable initial superiority of the United States at sea) remained the same as that at the time chosen by the Japanese: the creation of individually more powerful combat ships than those built in the West. And to do this was becoming typical of our government in a big way.
