	Mechanical traveller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A mechanical traveller is a moving part of a machine, typically a ring that slides between different positions on a supporting rod when the machine goes through its operating cycle.
		In sailing, it is a mechanical device used to modify the location at which lines used to control sails (such as sheets) are attached to the vessel.
		A traveler on a smaller craft (such as the popular single-handed "Laser" sailboat) might simply be a line attached to two points on the deck, along which another block runs.

	Orbits Travel
		An orbital spaceflight is achieved when the spacecraft travels around the Earth in space at sufficient lateral velocity (or equivalently, enough angular velocity) for the centrifugal force to cancel out the pull of Earth's gravity.
		This may apply to the travel itself, or the travel may just be the necessary investment to arrive at a desired location.
		Travellers are enjoying their lifestyle around the world until this day.

	France Travel
		It is probably one of the most entertaining books of travel ever written, and a veritable mine of mostly very accurate information concerning the natural phenomena, history, social life, economics, diet and morals of the places described.
		In this episode, The Traveler is also shown to be capable of sensing this capacity in others as he did with Wesley Crusher.
		The next appearance of The Traveler came in the episode "Remember Me", where he was instrumental in rescuing Beverly Crusher from a rapidly collapsing universe brought about by a static warp bubble.

	Increasing Speed of Yarn Spinning
		The traveller and the ring can be replaced by some other mechanism where by the twist is inserted to the material and the yarn being formed.
		The functional resource is the function of the mechanism by which the ring and the traveler produces the yarn by twisting the material.
		The desired technological characteristic that the system should have is a mechanism by which the twist is inserted in the same fashion how it is inserted by the ring and traveller mechanism.

	WELLS CHAPTER (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		If it is travelling through time fifty times or a hundred times faster than we are, if it gets through a minute which we get through a second, the impression it creates will of course be only one-fiftieth or one-hundredth of what it would make if it were not traveling in time.
		But whenever the Traveller is out of the machine and exploring the new worlds of the future the story becomes as reductivist as the myth of exploration itself: civilized Europe discovers that the non-European world is inhabited by children, or monsters.
		The Traveller is appalled, for he interprets this gesture as an indication that the Eloi is asking whether he dropped down from the clouds.

	Oddities - Curiosities of Locomotive Design
		It had the merit of acting as the designer intended it should, and one day that it was on trial, rushing along at a speed of three miles an hour, accompanied by a host of admirers, the boiler exploded, throwing hot water, pieces of iron, and disaster among the crowd.
		The science of mechanical engineering was in its infancy in those days, yet one marvels how the designer of such a locomotive expected to obtain the necessary adhesion.
		Worsdell is of the opinion that it is the oldest locomotive in the world that is daily under steam, for it was built in 1822 and is now regularly used as part of the motive power equipment in the collieries of Sir Lindsay Wood, who is one of the directors of the North Eastern Railway.

		(The two hundred-year-old mechanism consists of a revolving carriage that holds the balance wheel and escapement and makes a complete turn every sixty seconds to average out timekeeping errors caused by gravity.) A watch is inevitably a status symbol, and it's up to you to figure out what kind of status you want to symbolize.
		Mechanical movements are either hand wound or automatic (also called “self-winding”), meaning the movement winds itself using a rotor that spins in response to the natural movement of the wearer’s arm.
		They are also functional and can time an event to one fifth of a second for mechanical chronos and to one hundredth of a second in digital quartz chronos.

		Ten years ago, Traveller introduced skills for characters, defining what they were able to do in a way that made playing the game easy for both the referee and the players.
		My favorite, however, is the uncertain task; it is used to resolve situations where the player cannot know for a certainty the outcome of a task An example might be diagnosis of a mechanical problem: the player may attempt the task, but does not know if he has successfully figured out the problem.
		Traveller is going to be around for a long time, and we will continue to support it.

		It is about thirty-four years ago,- since a thoughtful man, travelling* in the north of England, on commercial business, stood looking at a small train of coal wagons, impelled by steam, along a tramroad which connected the mouth of one of the collieries of that district with the wharf at which the coals were shipped.
		The amount of travelling was then so limited, that this means of transportation was found abundantly sufficient for all the exigencies of the then trade of that country; in the 2* 30 RAMBLES IN THE PATH OF THE STEAM HORSE.
		It was soon ascertained, that in proportion to the increased facilities afforded to trade by the Canals in England, was the increase of trade itself, until even this means of communication was actually, in many of the more commercial parts of the country, found insufficient for the transportation required.

	Locos in Profile – John Blenkinsop
		William Chapman a leading civil engineer, who was also a keen mechanical engineer and had patented a successful rope-making machine, took the stationary steam engine and chain method of haulage and reversed it.
		The question of obtaining enough friction from the driving wheels of a steam locomotive was occupying the minds of many and in May 1813 Brunton patented the idea of using mechanical legs to provide the traction by pushing the locomotive along.
		Brunton built a locomotive with mechanical legs at Butterley, Derbyshire, where he was an engineer.

	Lord Brunton Online: Bruntons In History
		William fitted his loco with a pair of mechanical feet which gripped the rails at the rear of the engine and so pushed it forward with a jerky, shuffling gait.
		Hence it became known as the "mechanical traveller" or "steam horse".
		Far from being a complete failure, as many writers assert, the mechanical traveller was transported to the Newbattle Colliery, County Durham and during the year 1814 it was employed hauling loads up a 1 in 36 gradient.

	ScienceDaily: 'Laser Tweezers' Reveal Microscopic Mechanical Properties Of Blood Clots
		Philadelphia, PA -- For the first time ever, using “laser tweezers,” the mechanical properties of an individual fiber in a blood clot have been determined by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
		The mechanical properties of blood clots have been measured for many years, so now we can develop models to relate individual fiber and whole clot properties to understand mechanisms that can yield clots that have vastly different properties.”
		By understanding the microscopic mechanical properties of a clot and how that relates to its observed function within the circulatory system, researchers may be able to make predictions about clot physiology.
