like Malraux he was also serving in the tank corps before being captured, and we learn as well that in civilian life he had been a writer.

-- Matheson highest purity tank chlorine was passed through a tube of resublimed Af into an evacuated Pyrex system where it was condensed with liquid air.

The raw sewage was introduced directly under the turbine aerator to insure maximum mixing of the raw sewage with the aeration tank contents.

In January 1972, three months before the planned April launch date, a fuel tank in the Command Module was accidentally damaged during a routine test.

The rocket was returned to the Vehicle Assembly Building, the fuel tank replaced and the rocket returned to the launch pad in February in time for the scheduled launch.

The first proposal for a tank was by the Austrian Oberleutenant Günther Burstyn who, in 1911, proposed a design for " motor artillery " ( Motorengeschütz ) with a turret, but his design never progressed beyond a German patent in 1912.

Tank or " landship " development, originally conducted by the British Navy under the auspices of the Landships Committee was sponsored by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill and proceeded through a number of prototypes culminating in the Mark I tank prototype, named Mother.

The first tank to engage in battle was designated D1, a British Mark I, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette ( part of the Somme Offensive ) on 15 September 1916.

The basic APC design was substantially expanded to an Infantry fighting vehicle ( IFV ) when properties of an armoured personnel carrier and a light tank were combined in one vehicle.

The development of the AFV continued into World War I, when the tracked tank was introduced on the Western Front-a machine that was armoured because it was specifically designed to be fired upon.

In 1918, the British Mk V tank was capable of carrying a small number of troops and in 1944, the Canadian general Guy Simonds ordered the conversion of redundant armoured vehicles to carry troops ( generically named " Kangaroos ").

This was not a success in battle, and was replaced with a very successful series of increasingly powerful turretless assault guns: the SU-76, SU-122, and the heavy SU-152, which were followed by the ISU-122 and ISU-152 on the new IS heavy tank chassis.

Among these was the M4 ( 105 ), a M4 Sherman tank armed with a M4 105 mm howitzer.

An example of the development of tank destroyer technology throughout the war are the Marder III and Hetzer vehicle, that were very different in spite of being based on the same chassis: Marder was straightforwardly an anti-tank gun on tracks whereas Hetzer traded some firepower ( its Pak 39, designed to operate within the confines of a fully-armored fighting compartment, fires the same projectiles from a reduced propellant charge compared to Marder's Pak 40 ) for better armor protection and ease of battlefield concealment.

When a tank destroyer was used against enemy tanks from a defensive position, eg by ambush, a rotating turret was not particularly critical and where a low silhouette was paramount not desirable.

The Panzer 38 ( t ) chassis was also used to make the Jagdpanzer 38 ' Hetzer ' casemate style tank destroyer.

One of the more successful German tank destroyers was actually designed as a self-propelled artillery gun, the Sturmgeschütz III.

Based on the Panzer III tank chassis, the Sturmgeschütz III was originally fitted with a low-velocity gun, and was assigned to the artillery arm for infantry fire support.

The well itself is designed to take two Merc 800's or 500's if you wish and there's room for a 25-gallon long-cruise gas tank below it.

The level of armour protection between AFVs varies greatly-a main battle tank will normally be designed to take hits from other tank guns and anti-tank missiles, whilst light reconnaissance vehicles are often only armoured " just in case ".

The tank is an all terrain AFV designed primarily to engage enemy forces by the use of direct fire in the frontal assault role.

A tank destroyer is a type of armored fighting vehicle armed with a gun or missile launcher, and is designed specifically to engage enemy armored vehicles.

Some weapons designed for personal defense do still use full-power ammunition, for example the L22A2, based on the L85A2, issued to British tank crews.

** Mine Exploder T10: Remote control unit designed to be controlled by the following tank.

Current advances in energy storage allow for energy densities as high as 2. 5 MJ / m³, which means that a battery delivering 32 MJ of energy would require a volume of 12. 8 m³ ; this is not a viable volume for use in a modern main battle tank, especially one designed to be lighter than existing models.

However, not all this work was wasted, as the chassis Porsche designed for the Tiger I was used as the base for the Elefant tank destroyer.

The detector was designed to detect solar neutrinos through their interactions with a large tank of heavy water.

The liquid oxygen tank is being designed and it will also be made of composite materials.

An airlock would be attached to the hydrogen tank, in the area designed to hold the LEM, and a minimum amount of equipment would be installed in the tank itself in order to avoid taking up too much fuel volume.

This spaceplane was designed for a crew and strongly resembled the U. S. Space Shuttle, although its drop-off boosters used liquid propellants and its main engines were located at the base of what would be the external tank in the American Shuttle.

A study of fruit fly wings designed to understand how the wings produce lift was performed using a large tank of mineral oil and wings 100 times larger than actual size, in order to slow down the wing beats and make the vortices generated by the insect wings easier to see and understand.

The first CT system that could make images of any part of the body and did not require the " water tank " was the ACTA ( Automatic Computerized Transverse Axial ) scanner designed by Robert S. Ledley, DDS, at Georgetown University.

The tank filler opening has a corresponding diameter ; this prevents inadvertently using leaded fuel in an engine not designed for it, which can damage a catalytic converter.

In 1997, with the annexation of the former water tank, the property became the Montehermoso Cultural Center, designed as a space for art exhibitions and musical performances.

Inside the shell, a large spherical hydrazine tank made up most of the volume, topped by two smaller spherical nitrogen tanks and a 90 N injection rocket to slow the spacecraft down to go into lunar orbit, which was designed to be capable of firing twice during the mission.

The first tank versus tank action took place on 24 April 1918 at Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, when three British Mark IVs met an advance of three German A7Vs, supported by infantry.

The tank proved highly successful, and as technology improved the tank became a weapon that could cross large distances at much higher speeds than supporting infantry and artillery.

The tank is filled with hot water on sunny days, and made available at all times.

As a result of the political and economical tensions brought on by the Cold War, on 13 August 1961, East Germany began building of the Berlin Wall between East and West Berlin and similar barriers around West Berlin, and events escalated to a tank standoff at Checkpoint Charlie on 27 October 1961.

In the Eastern Military District, there were two tank divisions, the 13th and 14th, with a supervisory headquarters at Trenčín in the Slovak part of the country.

Suppose the vector field describes the velocity field of a fluid flow ( such as a large tank of liquid or gas ) and a small ball is located within the fluid or gas ( the centre of the ball being fixed at a certain point ).

In their first major use at the Battle of Cambrai ( 1917 ), the plan was for a cavalry division to follow behind the tanks, however they were not able to cross a canal because a tank had broken the only bridge.

One of the most powerful guns to see service in World War II, it was capable of destroying any Allied tank at very long ranges.
