Six-wheel drive vehicles may have two wheels at the front and four at the rear (with only the front pair steering), or three evenly spaced axles, where the front and middle pair may both steer (as in the Alvis Saladin).Drive may be limited to the rear two axles for on-road use.The T815, M35 2-1/2 ton cargo truck (aka "Deuce and a half"), and the Pinzgauer High Mobility All-Terrain Vehicle are production examples of vehicles using this type of drive system.…
The outside axles were designed as Klien-Lindner axles and could be slid sideways by about 37 mm from their centre position.The design of these axles required them to be fixed into an outside frame.In the centre of the locomotive was a double cylinder each with a high-pressure cylinder for the rear and a low-pressure cylinder for the front drive.…
Supreme II was on the 35 seat Bristol LHS chassis powered by a Leyland 400 series engine.The door located forward of the front axle in the usual place.Supreme III was the first full size coach although there seemed to be some development confusion and the actual marque of the initial standard length coaches is not clear however most of the late P and earlier R-reg bodies seemed to be the Mark III.…
Although most people think first of four-wheel vehicles when they think of tractors, a tractor may have one or more axles.The key benefit is the power itself, which only takes one axle to provide.Single-axle tractors, more often called two-wheel tractors or walk-behind tractors, have had many users since the beginning of internal combustion engine tractors.…
With the internal combustion engine and transaxle mounted very low in the back, the T3 had much larger disc brakes in the front, and drums in the rear.Axle weight is very nearly equal upon both the front and back ends of the vehicle.Unlike the T2 before it, the T3 was available with amenities such as power steering, air conditioning, power door locks, electrically controlled and heated mirrors, lighted vanity mirrors, and a light above the glove box (most of which were essentially standard equipment in later models).…
All axles of the control car as well as the middle cars are driven.
Due to this mounting design and nature of combustion engines and to the fact that the train runs forward in both directions, a so-called "reverse gear" had to be attached to automatic gearboxes.They are responsible for making the axles turn the right way.These gears are normally not controlled directly by the train's driver; instead, the train's on-board computers check which of the two cabs is active to determine the train's primary driving direction, setting the reverse gears accordingly.…
Typically, they're simply called MR layout cars.These cars uses mid-ship, four-wheel drive, with engine between axles.These cars are "mid-ship engined" vehicles, but they use front-wheel drive, with the engine in front of the driver.…
In January 2009, Deutsche Bahn CEO Hartmut Mehdorn suggested that the axles would have to be replaced with a new design.Development, production and installation of the new axles would take up to two years.…
All cars have the engine located between the driver and the rear axle.The engines are a stressed member in most cars, meaning that the engine is part of the structural support framework, being bolted to the cockpit at the front end, and transmission and rear suspension at the back end.…
Among them were the heavy trucks, MOWAG M5-16F with four seats, front steering cabin and 16 tons total weight, tow hitch for a double axle trailer and a 200-horsepower engine in the underfloor.The engine was mounted under the bed between the front and the rear axles.This allowed a compact design and low center of gravity in the middle of the vehicle.…
Zeta's suspension system is all wheel independent and utilizes a MacPherson strut coupled with a dual ball joint lower A-arm for the front and a four link independent setup for the rear wheels.The engine is mounted slightly behind the front axle giving improved weight distribution.GM imported the long wheelbase zeta to North America as the Chevrolet Caprice Police vehicle in 2011.…
The diabolo spin can be accelerated more quickly using various methods: the 'whip' rotates the diabolo faster by one hand stick moving infront of the users body and past the other handstick; the 'wrap' rotates the diabolo faster by the user wrapping a loop of the string around the axle.Both methods increase the amount of string contact with the axle in any given time.Once spin speed is increased to a sufficient level that the diabolo is stable, the user can then perform tricks.…
Just before the birth of the Infante Juan Carlos, the Count of Barcelona decided to go hunting, with the doctor telling him and his wife that the future king would not be born for weeks.When he was told of the birth he drove to the hospital so quickly that he broke an axle spring.…
The home is usually in two pieces and is hauled by two separate trucks.Each frame has five or more axles, depending on the size of the home.Once the home has reached its location, the axles and the tongue of the frame are then removed, and the home is set on a concrete foundation by a large crane.…

The gaps between the first and second axles and between the third and fourth axles are even.The gap between the second and third axles is slightly larger than the other ones.The two-engines setup has an advantage in the fact that each engine could work without the other.…
Note that packs can establish additional rules for what, if any, modifications are allowed.In some areas, no changes can be made to the axles or wheels.A second consideration is the rotational energy stored in the wheels.…
The first passenger cars in the resembled stagecoaches.They were short, often less than long, tall and rode on a single pair of axles.American mail cars first appeared in the 1860s and at first followed English design.…
Unlike the steel-bodied Series 400, the Class 395 has its carbody (walls, roof, floor) formed from friction stir welded double-walled hollow extruded aluminium body panels, a technology Hitachi considers part of its A-Train train family specification.The train consists of six-car units, with all axles on the middle four cars powered.The outer cars are unpowered, but mount the pantographs (giving a formation DPT1+MS1+MS2+MS3+MS4+DPT2.).…
