The automobile maintenance unit, or motor pool, came into existence in 1942 and has been responsible for centralized maintenance and management of state-owned transportation since that time.

The motor pool has made exceptional progress in automotive management including establishment of cost billing systems, records keeping, analyses of vehicle use, and effecting economies in vehicle operation.

Twenty-six states operate a central motor pool for acquisition, allocation and/or maintenance of state-owned vehicles.

History and operation of the motor pool.

It met these problems by the creation of the state automobile maintenance unit ( more popularly called the motor pool ), a centralized operation for the maintenance and control of all state transportation.

The motor pool is a completely centralized and mechanized operation.

From this, motor pool personnel develop other meaningful and related data.

Requests are made by the motor pool along with any necessary cooperation from the agencies to which assignments of cars will be made.

In that ownership of all vehicles rests with the state motor pool, cars are paid for with funds appropriated to the agencies but transferred to the rotary fund mentioned earlier.

This is not unlike the order received by the sergeant of an army motor pool: `` Four trucks to Fort Mason gym, 7:30 tonight, for hauling girls to dance.

The CCC camp was a temporary community in itself, structured to have barracks ( initially Army tents ) for 50 enrollees each, officer / technical staff quarters, medical dispensary, mess hall, recreation hall, educational building, lavatory and showers, technical / administrative offices, tool room / blacksmith shop and motor pool garages.

Faraday's homopolar motor consisted of a permanent magnet sitting in a pool of mercury.

Due to the costs of owning an expensive custom vehicle that sits idle " 80 to 90 percent of the week ", individual funeral homes reduce costs by renting or utilizing a shared motor pool.

Canadian motels were often constructed as poorly weatherized cabins in which a centrepiece of the motor court was an outdoor swimming pool usable for little more than two months of the year.

* Distribution Strategy: questions of operating control ( centralized, decentralized or shared ); delivery scheme, e. g., direct shipment, pool point shipping, cross docking, direct store delivery ( DSD ), closed loop shipping ; mode of transportation, e. g., motor carrier, including truckload, Less than truckload ( LTL ), parcel ; railroad ; intermodal transport, including trailer on flatcar ( TOFC ) and container on flatcar ( COFC ); ocean freight ; airfreight ; replenishment strategy ( e. g., pull, push or hybrid ); and transportation control ( e. g., owner-operated, private carrier, common carrier, contract carrier, or third-party logistics ( 3PL )).

The platoon maintains its battery of ten ceremonially-modified World War II-vintage M-5 anti-tank guns at the Old Guard regimental motor pool.

It directly supervises the Directors of Administration, Health, Engineering, the motor pool and the Veterinary Commission.

The motor pool hired more than eighty local women just to drive trucks ; in all about 1200 civilians worked at the base as any given time.

* Military personnel of any functionality ( doctors, lawyers, engineers, cooks, fighter pilots, motor pool drivers.

They conducted the initial attack so quickly that many of Kuwait's military vehicles never left their motor pool.

In the mechanical field, sending a Marine / Soldier to the motor pool to retrieve a spark plug for a diesel engine, or in a communications unit the unsuspecting serviceman might be sent out to find a can of frequency grease or a spool of orderwire. In the Airwing Marines / Sailors are at times asked to get a can of pneumatic fluid or a batch of flightline.

The motor pool consisted of six vintage trucks and a semi-trailer often parked by the barracks.

The third part was the administrative area ( designated A ), which was usually co-located with the IFC and contained the battery headquarters, barracks, mess, recreation hall, and motor pool.

Though, to date, the Crown Victoria badge is still affixed to Police Interceptors equipped with the Street Appearance package for vehicles that require civilian styling ( undercover cars, office / city motor pool, fire departments, etc .).

After that, they are then driven into position using a laptop and 56 motor control boards.

What the user would do is remove the drive from its case and then loosen the screws holding the stepper motor that moved the head.

The boys also received help with their bigger engine from outboard motor pioneer Ole Evinrude, who was then building gas engines of his own design for automotive use on Milwaukee's Lake Street.

Simplified schema of basic nervous system function: signals are picked up by sensory receptors and sent to the spinal cord and brain, where processing occurs that results in signals sent back to the spinal cord and then out to motor neurons

In single-word-recognition tasks, non-stutterers showed cortical activation first in occipital areas, then in left inferior-frontal regions such as Broca ’ s area, and finally, in motor and premotor cortices.

They were once used to directly drive mechanical devices such as ships ' propellers ( for example the Turbinia, the first turbine-powered steam launch ,) but most such applications now use reduction gears or an intermediate electrical step, where the turbine is used to generate electricity, which then powers an electric motor connected to the mechanical load.

Grain geometry and chemistry are then chosen to satisfy the required motor characteristics.

A pipe leads from the tank to a poppet valve, and then to the decomposition chamber of the rocket motor.

For example, if a motor runs for one out of 100 seconds, or 1 / 100 of the time, then, its duty cycle is 1 / 100, or 1 percent.

If the bottom coil ( as shown ) leads in phase, then the motor will move downward ( in the drawing ), and vice versa.

When using a plunge-base router, the sole of the base is placed on the face of the work with the cutting bit raised above the work, then the motor is turned on and the cutter is lowered into the work.

The sole plate is then either rested flat on the workpiece overhanging the edge so that the cutting bit is not contacting the work ( and then entering the work from the side once the motor is turned on ), or the sole plate is placed at an angle with the bit above the work and the bit is " rocked " over into the work once the motor is turned on.

They then studied 140 cases of cassowary mortality and found that motor vehicle strikes accounted for 55 % of them, and dog attacks produced another 18 %.

For example, an internal-combustion piston motor can have the fuel supply stopped, and then internal pumping losses of the engine create some braking.

Logging camps were slowly phased out between World War II and the early 1960s as crews could by then be transported to remote logging sites in motor vehicles.

The variable capacitor or resistor produces an error signal voltage proportional to the output position which is then compared with the position commanded by the input pulse and the motor is driven until a match is obtained.

It was a " cut-off " because it allowed motor travelers from the lower United States to travel to Valdez and Anchorage in south-central Alaska without going further north to Delta Junction and then traveling south on the Richardson Highway.

Some vehicles had a pedal in the floor that manually engaged the starter drive pinion with the flywheel ring gear, then completed the electrical circuit to the starter motor once the pedal reached the end of its travel.

In some cases RNAs are additionally transported to a specific part of the cytoplasm, such as a synapse ; they are then towed by motor proteins that bind through linker proteins to specific sequences ( called " zipcodes ") on the RNA.

The museum was founded in 1952 by Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 3rd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu as a tribute to his father, who was one of the great pioneers of motoring in the United Kingdom, being the first person to drive a motor car into the yard of the Houses of Parliament, and having introduced King Edward VII ( then the Prince of Wales ) to motoring during the 1890s.

The motor's position can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any feedback sensor ( an open-loop controller ), as long as the motor is carefully sized to the application.
