German manufacturers limit the top speed of high-performance saloons ( sedans ) and station wagons to 250 kilometres per hour ( 155 miles per hour ).

The two engines, pulling wagons filled with railroad ties, traveled a track and thunderously crashed into each other at a combined speed of up to.

Covering 170 miles in 13 days he bought supplies ahead of the army and abandoned his supply wagons to speed his march.

The speed of the cars rolling down from the hump into the classification bowl must be regulated because of the different natural speed of the wagons ( full or empty, heavy or light freight, number of axles ), the different filling of the tracks ( whether there are presently few or many cars on it ) and different weather conditions ( temperature, wind speed and direction ).

However, they had the advantage of shorter supply lines and were able to replenish their armies with greater speed than the French, especially because Napoleon's losses of cavalry and wagons were irreplaceable.

Anyone standing at the lineside could watch a freight train pass at speed and observe several of the wagons weaving and swaying alarmingly even on good track, and derailment occurred when any poor track was encountered.

The dynamic behaviour of the wagons was the problem, but the solution adopted was to reduce the permitted speed of the wagons to 45 mph, and to reduce the track gauge by one-eighth of an inch, to 4 ft 8⅜in ( 1432mm ) for new installations of continuously welded track on concrete sleepers.

This line carries trains with 3 Units ( 9 wagons ), which have a time difference of 2. 5 minutes and a maximum speed of 100 km / h.

* The brake van brake had been broken by loose shunting of loaded wagons into the six wagons at too high a speed ; the secondary cause was the failure of the senior brakesman to moderate their speed by applying wagon brakes.

Toyota Australia manufactured sedans and wagons using 1. 9 L Holden Starfire engines, badged in Toyota engine terminology as the 1X, coupled with a 4 speed or optional 5 speed Borg-Warner 505.

It's these 1963 cars of both nameplates that had the high-performance 326 CID V8 option ( actually 336 cid for that one year only ) and specially modified versions of them ( six LeMans coupes and six Tempest wagons with Super Duty 421 " engines with a semi automatic four speed transaxle became the cars of racing lore.

The train lost speed along the railway causeway out to Long Island and collided with some empty wagons.

At the same time a down express passed through the station and collided with the derailed wagons at speed causing the front of the express to derail and topple over.

A train, comprising 15 goods wagons was travelling from Dover to Willesden hauled by a Class 47 locomotive ( No 47288 ), when, due to excessive speed, the locomotive's rear bogie derailed in the tunnel approaching Maidstone East.

Unfortunately, these wagons were tankers containing diesel which burst into flames, destroying the train data recorders that might have explained what speed the train was travelling at.

His speed was dropping rapidly.

I was again in motion and at a speed which belied the truck's similarity to Senor X's Ford turtle.

It was a trick they used to try and conceal their identity when they followed trucks to check their speed.

I was having lunch not long ago ( apologies to N. V. Peale ) with three distinguished historians ( one specializing in the European Middle Ages, one in American history, and one in the Far East ), and I asked them if they could name instances where the general mores had been radically changed with `` deliberate speed, majestic instancy '' ( Francis Thompson's words for the Hound Of Heaven's Pursuit ) by judicial fiat.

The reason was to speed up domestic production in the USSR, which Khrushchev promised upon grabbing power, and try to end the permanent recession in Russian living standards.

The doctor's mind was working at a great speed ; ;

Another example is the recent cancellation of the F-108, a long-range interceptor with a speed three times as great as the speed of sound, which was designed for use against manned bombers in the period of the mid-1960's.

The increase in oxygen uptake rates from 1.2 to 2.6 mg/l/hr which followed an increase in rotor speed was believed to be related to resuspension of solids which had settled at the lower rotor speeds.

Toying with her field in the early stages, Garden Fresh was asked for top speed only in the stretch by Jockey Philip Grimm and won by a length and a half in 1.24 3-5 for the 7 furlongs.

The son of a wealthy Evanston executive was fined $100 yesterday and forbidden to drive for 60 days for leading an Evanston policeman on a high speed chase over icy Evanston and Wilmette streets Jan. 20.

Kimmell ordered the driver to back up, watched the children safely across and was approaching the car when it suddenly `` took off at high speed '', he said, narrowly missing him.

Both have brilliant speed: Mantle was timed from home plate ( batting left-handed ) to first base in 3.1 seconds, faster than any other major leaguer ; ;

Upon reaching the desired speed, the automatic equipment would cut off the drive, and the silent but not empty vessel would hurl towards the star which was its journey's end.

If that was the skiff, it was making unprecedented speed.

Unfortunately the Nepōhualtzintzin and its teaching were among the victims of the conquering destruction, when a diabolic origin was attributed to them after observing the tremendous properties of representation, precision and speed of calculations.

Count Jules-Albert de Dion was first into Rouen after 6 hours and 48 minutes at an average speed of 19 km / h.

The official winners were Peugeot and Panhard as cars were judged on their speed, handling and safety characteristics, and De Dion's steam car needed a stoker which was forbidden.

* In February 2003, the Boomerang Nebula was observed to have been releasing gases at a speed of 500, 000 km / h ( over 300, 000 mph ) for the last 1, 500 years.

This meant that although ROM applications ran at the same speed, there was a substantial speed decrease on applications running from RAM.

The display logic and resulting display ' snow ' was irritating, as was the missing lower case support, the CPU speed could be improved, the quality and layout of the keyboard was bothersome, and the floppy disk capacity and reliability was low.

Processors are usually binned and selected to become a mobile processor by their ability run a given processor speed while supplied with a lower ( than desktop ) voltage.

Relativistic effects in the ion flight are usually ignored, as realisable ion speeds are only a very small fraction of the speed of light.

To speed up match play and to provide an added dimension for strategy, a doubling cube is usually used.

This speed is usually a significant fraction of the speed of light, as can be deduced from Maxwell's Equations, and is therefore many times faster than the drift velocity of the electrons.

Hence servers usually are high speed computers with large hard disk capacity.

These missiles travel faster than the speed of sound, usually using ramjet engines.

Therefore, four loose families of more-efficient light transport modelling techniques have emerged: rasterization, including scanline rendering, geometrically projects objects in the scene to an image plane, without advanced optical effects ; ray casting considers the scene as observed from a specific point-of-view, calculating the observed image based only on geometry and very basic optical laws of reflection intensity, and perhaps using Monte Carlo techniques to reduce artifacts ; and ray tracing is similar to ray casting, but employs more advanced optical simulation, and usually uses Monte Carlo techniques to obtain more realistic results at a speed that is often orders of magnitude slower.

The dimension of a physical quantity is the combination of the basic physical dimensions ( usually mass, length, time, electric charge, and temperature ) which describe it ; for example, speed has the dimension length per time, and may be measured in meters per second, miles per hour, or other units.

Due to the limitations of processing speed and memory, compositing artists did not usually have the luxury of having the system make intermediate conversions to linear space for the compositing steps.

Human power was focused by the use of simple engines, such as the capstan, windlass or treadmill, and with ropes, pulleys, and block and tackle arrangements ; this power was transmitted usually with the forces multiplied and the speed reduced.

The main roads usually have speed limits of either 100 km / h or.

Bands in different lanes that end up at the same distance from the top contain molecules that passed through the gel with the same speed, which usually means they are approximately the same size.

An ISIS interface can run scanners at or above their rated speed by linking drivers together in a pipe so that data flows from a scanner driver to compression driver, to packaging driver, to a file, viewer, or printer in a continuous stream, usually without the need to buffer more than a small portion of the full image.

Intel produced IntelDX4s with two clock speed steppings: A 75 MHz version ( 3 × 25 MHz multiplier ), and a 100 MHz version ( usually 3 × 33. 3 MHz, but sometimes also 2 × 50MHz ).

A short hull is preferred, as a longer hull takes more distance to turn and usually must be turned at a slower speed.

The microcode usually does not reside in the main memory, but in a special high speed memory, called the control store.

Land Speed is where a single rider accelerates over a 1 to long straight track ( usually on dry lake beds ) and is timed for top speed through a trap at the end of the run.

The advantages to DCC are that track voltage is constant ( usually in the range of 20 volts AC ) and the command throttle sends a signal to small circuit cards, or decoders, hidden inside the piece of equipment which control several functions of an individual locomotive, including speed, direction of travel, lights, smoke and various sound effects.

Orienteering is a family of sports that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed.

Since each amplitude envelope contains a group of internal waves, this speed is usually called the group velocity.

In the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating is usually referred to as just " speed skating ", while short-track speed skating is known as " short track ".

Modern on-highway diesel engines are designed to provide maximum torque in a narrow RPM range ( usually 1200-1500 RPM ); having more gear ratios means the driver can hold the engine in its optimum range regardless of road speed ( drive axle ratio is also a critical factor ).
