	Hinged drawbar for boat trailer - Patent 4398742
		In accordance with this invention the drawbar 12 is severed into two parts on a plane which extends at right angles to the axis of the drawbar, and in the embodiment illustrated at a point between the wheel housing 16 and the winch 15.
		In the drawings the forward end of the drawbar, the section which is denoted by the numeral 12', is releasably attached to the remaining portion 12 of the drawbar by a novel hinge mechanism which is denoted generally at 20.
		2 and 3, when the drawbar sections 12' and 12 are interconnected by the hinge pins 26 and 27, the outer surfaces of flanges 31' and 32' of reinforcing plates 31 and 32 are disposed in coplanar engagement with the corresponding surfaces on flanges 33' and 34' on the reinforcing plates 33 and 34.

	Drawbar dilemma - Railway Age, March 2001
		The physics behind 12-inches-to-the-foot-scale railroad cars equipped with drawbars or articulated connectors is essentially the same as that of their miniature brethren.
		Those are the primary reasons why drawbars have not caught on in bulk-commodity unit train service, and are mainly used to connect stand-alone intermodal cars into semi-permanent three- and five-pack sets.
		The butt of the drawbar and the vertical pin arrangement are virtually identical to that of an F-type coupler.

	Slackless drawbar system - Patent 5201827
		A slackless drawbar system, as set forth in claim 11, wherein such center sill includes welding slots, said pair of side plates each have welding chambers at each of their ends and said support member is securable to such center sill by welds in such welding slots and at each of said welding chambers.
		A slackless drawbar system, as set forth in claim 18, wherein said at least one reinforcing rib has a second portion which is a mirror image of said first portion, said second portion beginning at said second point and extending to the other of said side plates.
		In the present arrangement, drawbar forces between the pin and the support member are spread over approximately the front half of the outer surface of the bushing greatly reducing the probability of failure of the support member around the pin.

		Drawbar harmonics which are not an octave apart from the white drawbars are indicated by their fl-colored handles.
		Traditionally the 8' stop (drawbar) is thought of as the fundamental tone, therefore all harmonic frequencies below the fundamental tone or less than an octave above the fundamental are known as sub-harmonics.
		Drawbar changes can be used to update the main drawbar settings of the V3 or the morph (AUX) drawbar setting of the V3.

	Drawbar Springs - Assemblies of Compression Springs (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Drawbar springs are assemblies in which the spring will compress as the drawbar arms extend under an applied load.
		The drawbar can be made from any grade of hard-drawn wire, as they are quite strong if made with the same diameter of wire as used in the spring.
		The drawbar should be lubricated during operation to reduce friction.

	Electronic drawbar patent invention (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		To minimize headways between trains at stops in short-distance rail transport systems, an electronic drawbar is proposed which makes it possible to cause a following train to approach a train ahead up to a few meters and to follow at this distance in an electronically coupled mode.
		Depending on the equipment carried on the trains, implementation may be possible by means of a computer program which performs the specific functions for the activation and deactivation of the electronic drawbar.
		At this time, the two trains are linked by a virtual drawbar and, with respect to propulsion, behave like a single train.

	Don't forget the drawbar: on a machining center, the force that holds the toolholder in the spindle can weaken over ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because HSK spindles require high drawbar force in order for the toolholder to properly engage with the spindle face, these machines merit more frequent drawbar testing.
		Repairing the drawbar to keep the holding force high can prevent this damage by ensuring that toolholders don't start to squirm in the first place.
		The holding force in a drawbar comes from a stack of springs (Belleville washers), and the experiment seemed to suggest that the failure of one of these springs encourages others to fail.

	NMRA RP-37 Locomotive - Tender Drawbar and Pin Relationship
		This sheet establishes the parameters involved in "standardizing" the relationship between locomotive Drawbar and tender pivot Pin commonly used to conduct current between the tender and the locomotive, while facilitating Interchange of complete tenders between locomotives.
		The Drawbar is considered a permanent part of the locomotive.
		The longer the Drawbar, with pivot centers at, or near, the rear driver and the front tender truck bolster, the less this action will be, but this is seldom feasible in most models.

	Feature Article - Don't Forget The Drawbar - 05/06
		Sailing developed a simple gage for checking drawbar force that is now offered by Clamprite, his company in Auburn, Washington.
		This coppery discoloration on the toolholder’s taper is caused by microscopic welding of the holder and spindle.
		Fretting—seen here in the discoloration on the toolholder—is a symptom indicating that the drawbar may no longer be holding the toolholder tightly enough.

	Using an Adjustable Pulling Hitch
		And the further rearward the drawbar is, the more weight must be used on the front of the tractor.
		Therefore, the best position for the drawbar is 6-1/2" to 8" rearward from the center of the rear axle.
		Drawbar is held stationary by the two ¾" threaded rods with four large jam nuts, which are used to adjust the hitch height.

		Drawbar power is the power transferred through the drive wheels or tracks to move the tractor and implement.
		Tractive efficiency (TE) is the ratio of drawbar power to axle power and can be estimated when slip is known.
		TE (and hence tire efficiency) of a wheel can be predicted using a series of equations that take into account tire dimensions, soil conditions, slip, etc. Tractor performance is calculated by summing the individual wheel performances.

		If required, a replacement drawbar (part #937010) can be obtained through your local hobby dealer or directly from Kato U.S.A. Prior to beginning the replacement procedure, it is helpful to have a clear understanding of the design of the drawbar.
		It is important to recognize that while the drawbar "key hole" sits atop the truck frame, the small brass contact wires are to be pinched together slightly and inserted to the underside of the truck crossbeam.
		With drawbar loosely affixed to tender truck, reattach truck to tender with mounting screw, using screwdriver.

	Lathe - Drawbar/Coser
		The thought of operation is that the spacer would be placed on the drawbar, and the appropriate threaded end mill holder end would stick out with the 5/8" threaded end inside the drawbar about 3/8".
		The end mill holder would be threaded on through the morse taper end of the spindle and the drawbar tightened to draw the end mill holder into the morse taper.
		This protects the spindle thread and is used to remove the second piece which is an adapter that mates the collet to the #3 morse taper in your spindle.

		You then re-insert the round brass pin and lock it in via the lynch pin on the end of the chain.
		To control the swing of the drawbar, or to lock it to one side to force a towable implement to track to the outside of the tractor (instead of directly behind it), you insert bolts and nuts through the holes in the large bracket around the PTO housing.
		The most practical thing about the generic type of swinging drawbar setup is that you can leave it on, (most of the time anyway), and still hook up other 3-point implements.
