61708.991202&ELEMENT_SET=DECL Fastening means for guard rail The present invention relates to a highway guard rail assembly wherein the guard rail comprises hollow mounting posts of a suitable plastic material with a guard rail bar, preferably of metal, extending from post to post and attached to the posts. Lastly, the guard rail must have a property and mode of action such that it gives a simultaneous speed reduction on buckling, friction with the guard rail bar and moderate bending of the posts so that the load (deceleration) for driver and passenger is not too great. In Figure 1 the guard rail bar 2 is secured to the post 1 by means of a bolt 3 which passes through the guard rail bar 2 and the nearest wall 5'of the post 1. www.wipo.int /cgi-pct/guest/getbykey5?KEY=99/61708.991202&ELEMENT_SET=DECL   (1200 words)

Merriam-Webster Online In fact, that comparison comes from the rail which extends from one post or support to another and which functions as a guard or barrier. His theory was that the rail in question refers to a member of the Rallidae, the family of wading birds also known by their anglicized name, the rail family, and which counts among its members coots, rails, crakes, and gallinules. While it is true certain members of the rail family are noted for their slenderness, it is not true that these fine-feathered friends inspired the simile as thin as a rail. www.m-w.com /cgi-bin/wftwarch.pl?083004   (186 words)

Frank de Groot & the new guard - Stormfront White Nationalist Community The new guard was made up of both middle class and working men (particularly from the rail yards) It was claimed it was involved against violence against communist and labor members. The new guard was a anti communist and anti labor organization founded by Eric Campbell a Sydney solicitor, during the 30s Campell visited Germany, Italy and Britain and talked to fascist leaders and made a friendship with Sir Oswald Mosley of the British Union of Fascists. It was estimated that the New Guard was much more powerful then the armed and police forces at the time, and I think the reason so many people connect it with fascism is because the New Guard had all the paraphanelia and nazi salutes that were happening in Europe at the time. www.stormfront.org /forum/showthread.php?t=135111   (823 words)

BRITISH RAIL The wind of change was blowing through British Rail in the late 1980s, and guard's work, as I knew it, was to be phased out. From 1979 to 1989, I worked for British Rail in a number of jobs. But before this could affect me, I fell ill. When I returned, I took, and passed, the aptitude test to move career to that of driver, but soon after I became ill again, this time for good, and, by mutual agreement I was given medical retirement in May 1990. www.billnot.com /br/index.php   (558 words)
