  TRV M74
The TRV M74 was developed after the outbreak of the Korean War since the World War II-era tank recovery vehicles then in use could not cope with the heavier modern tanks.
M74 was converted from stocks of medium tanks M4A3 and M32B3 tank recovery vehicles, to which it bore a stong resemblance.
M74 also had a spade mounted on the front of the tank that was used for stabilization and as a dozer blade, which was raised and lowered using the auxiliary winch.

 Messier Object 74
M74 is probably the chief member of a very small physical group of galaxies, which includes the peculiar SBa barred spiral NGC 660, the peculiar Sm galaxy UGC 891 (of a mixed type between spirals and irregulars), and the irregulars UGC 1176, UGC 1195, and UGCA 20.
Supernova 2003gd was found visually in M74 by Bob Evans on June 12.82 UT, in the morning twilight at Australia as it was 13.2 mag bright, and already fading.
M74 can be found easiest from Hamal (Alpha Arietis); from this star, follow a line via Beta Arietis to Eta Piscium (mag 3.5); M74 is about 1/2 deg N and 1 1/2 deg E of Eta Psc; this route is also particularly well suited in Messier Marathons.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Developmental disturbances in early life stage mortality (M74) of Baltic salmon fry as ...
M74 is associated with decreased levels of antioxidants such as astaxanthin, α-tocopherol and ubiquinone [9,10].
The embryos developing M74 were divided in three major groups (E – early, I -intermediate and L – late) on the basis of the onset of the developmental disturbances; the I group included 3 subgroups (Table 1).
M74 groups were divided into early (E), intermediate1 (I1), intermediate2 (I2), intermediate3 (I3) and late (L) development of the syndrome (approximately 50 % mortality by 100–120 (E), 180–200 (I1 and I2), 225–250 (I3), and after 300 ATU (L)).

 Fiskbiologi i Ume/Vindelälven: Information - Summary of the Second Workshop on Reproduction Disturbancs in Fish
The M74 syndrome in Baltic salmon and the Cayuga syndrome in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) should be considered as special cases of EMS.
The M74 syndrome is still occurring at high levels in Swedish salmon hatcheries, where reproduction is based on wild-living broodstock that are predominantly of hatchery origin (the proportion of wild salmon in the Baltic is less than 20% of the whole stock).
A combination of overfishing and poor salinity and oxygen conditions in the 1980s (due to eutrophication of the Baltic Sea and a lack of influxes of saline water from the North Sea) is thought to have negatively affected spawning stocks and larval survival of cod.

 M74 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M74 (from Junction 4 southwards) and A74(M) are part of the E05 Euroroute which runs from Greenock to Algeciras.
Another theory which has been suggested in the past is that the "M7" number (at present unused) would be reserved for the fully completed M74; this would fit in with the national numbering convention in which all the 7-series numbers lie within southern Scotland, west of the A1.

 Salmon Syndrome M74: Cause Still A Mystery
Fewer Baltic salmon are now dying from the puzzling M74 syndrome, but salmon deaths could increase again.
In 1993, when the frequency of M74 was at its peak, the syndrome claimed up to 90 per cent of farmed salmon fry in some rivers.
Some researchers suspect that the relation between sprat and other fish is affected by excessive nutrient enrichment of the Baltic sea as well as by intensive fishing of Baltic cod.

 CBRD - Motorway Database - M74
At its southern end (or, strictly, the southern end of the A74(M)), the Highways Agency in England is plotting to extend the M6 to the border.
When the upgrades went on the new signs have "A74(M)" and "M74" on stuck-on plates; it is widely assumed that if these were removed it would read "M6" underneath.
Aside from its current tricky situation, the M74 is one of Scotland's oldest and most interesting motorways.

 Supernova 2003gd in M74
Presumably it had occurred about one month earlier and was probably somewhat brighter, but at that time, M74 was invisible because it was near its conjunction with the Sun.
As of June 30 and July 4, 2003, it was estimated at magnitude 14.1, on July 12 at 14.6, and on July 30 had dropped to mag 16.2.
From these data, astronomers have identified the progenitor as a red supergiant star, and calculated a mass of 8 to 10 solar masses with an extended hydrogene envelop, which probably started its life as a main sequence star of up to 12 solar masses (Smartt et.al 2004).

 SN 2002ap in M74
A SN in M74 is discovered by Japanese amateur Yoji Hirose at mag 14.5 (on Jan 29.4) and rising (mag 13.7 on Jan. 30.38).
We detect a radio source with a flux density of 375+/-30 microJy within 1" of the optical position of this supernova at coordinates (J2000): RA=01:36:23.920, DEC=15:45:12.867, with an uncertainty of approximately 10 milliarcsec in both coordinates.
Given the distance modulus of M74 of 29.3, the absolute magnitude of the SN is -15.6, and given that the optical emission is still rising (IAUC 7810) it is safe to assume that we are seeing the SN before maximum.
