Boatbuilding is a practical handbook and boatshop assistant, designed and written to meet the needs of the builder, covering the complete process of wooden boat construction. The text covers all types of craft from flat-bottom rowboats to ocean cruisers and commercial vessels, and aids the builder in overcoming difficulties and discouraging delays resulting from the lack of easily available information on the practical side of boatbuilding. Boatbuilding gives detailed instructions, with many illustrations, on all phases of boatbuilding written out of actual boatbuilding practice and aids the builder in planning each job in its proper sequence in relation to those that follow. After a chapter discussing the choice of plans suitable for amateur work there are chapters on lofting, the backbone and setting up, flat-bottom hull construction, V-bottom hull construction, round-bottom hull construction, deck framing and building, special construction (plywood, strip planking,...

C-Train is the light rail transit system in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It has been in operation since 1981. Operated by Calgary Transit, the system currently is running on 48.8 kilometres (30.3 mi) of track, organized into two routes. The longer route, 201, serves the southern and northwestern areas, while the shorter route, 202, serves the northeastern sections of the city. Most track is at grade with its own right-of-way. The downtown portion is shared right-of-way serving both routes along the 7th Avenue transit mall at street level. This portion is a zero-fare zone and serves as a downtown people mover. The tracks split at the east and west ends of downtown into lines leading to the south, northeast and northwest residential neighborhoods of Calgary. An additional line is currently being implemented to extend route 202 to the western neighborhoods. Eight percent (8%) of the system is underground, and 5% is grade-separated (elevated). Trains are powered by overhead electric wires,...

Publication of the fifth edition of Air Transportation: A Management Perspective will extend its life into the 21 st century, unquestionably the most remembered period in the history of aviation. The aviation industry entered a new era as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11.2001 and the Iraqi crisis of 2003. General aviation, including business aviation, and commercial aviation have been faced with record financial losses, resulting in massive organizational restructuring. No other time in history has proven to be as difficult as the current situation. Air carriers have experienced a record number of bankruptcies. Aircraft manufacturers have scaled down production, and airlines have reduced frequency on routes or eliminated service to destinations entirely. Employees at all levels have been furloughed or permanently terminated from their positions. It was estimated that the aviation industry would face positive growth two years after the events of 9/11. However, those...

The Daimler-Benz DB 605 is a German aircraft engine, built during World War II. Developed from the DB 601, the DB 605 was used from 1942 to 1945 in the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter, the Bf 110 and Me 210C heavy fighters. The DB 610, a coupled "power system" powerplant comprising a pair of side-by-side configured examples of the DB 605, and geared together in the front to turn a single output shaft, was used in Germany's only operational heavy bomber, the Heinkel He 177. License-built versions of the DB 605 were used in the Macchi C.205, Fiat G.55, Reggiane 2005 and some other Italian aircraft. It was also initially used in the pusher-design Swedish Saab J21. Approximately 42,400 DB 605s of all kinds were built.

This extensively illustrated all-color book traces the evolution of the car engine from the first crude efforts of the late 19th Century pioneers through to the cutting-edge technology of today. From 'wick' carburetors to common-rail diesel injection, from 'atmospheric' valves to variable valve timing, the clearly written text explores each decade of development, describing the significant milestones and illustrating them with examples of appropriate ground-breaking 'classic' engines. This book will appeal to car owners and enthusiasts keen to learn more about how and why engines have evolved into today's highly sophisticated units. Includes: Comprehensive, illustrated descriptions of engines in layperson's terms; History of the first pioneering single-cylinder car engines, developed from gas-powered stationary engines; Development of multi-cylinder engines and carburetors; How advances in fuels, materials and lubricants, and the advent of mass-production techniques, influenced engine...

The Bristol Pegasus is a British nine-cylinder single-row air-cooled radial engine. Used mainly for military aircraft in the 1930s and 1940s, Bristol reused the name many years later for the turbofan engine used in the Hawker Siddeley Harrier; that engine later became known as the Rolls-Royce Pegasus. Two Bristol Pegasus engines remain airworthy in 2009, powering Fairey Swordfish aircraft operated by the Royal Navy Historic Flight.
