	Relay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Relay is also the name of a series of medium-altitude satellites; the first of which was launched in 1962.
		Because a relay is able to control an output circuit of higher power than the input circuit, it can be considered, in a broad sense, to be a form of electrical amplifier.
		Although such relays once were the backbone of automation in such industries as automobile assembly, the programmable logic controller mostly displaced the machine tool relay from sequential control applications.

	Relay race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During a relay race, members of a team take turns swimming or running (usually with a baton) parts of a circuit or performing a certain action.
		In the Olympic games, there are many types of relay races that are part of track and field.
		In sprint relays, runners typically use a "blind handoff", where the second runner stands on a spot predetermined in practice and starts running when the first runner hits a visual mark on the track (usually a smaller triangle).

	Relay race
		While there are plenty of real-world problems to address, in some cases routine relays, utilizing a network of truck stop "relay stations," just might deliver enough benefits for everyone to make them a winning proposition.
		If drivers are either coming home every night or sleeping at agreed-upon relay points (that offer designated areas for executing trailer swaps and motels for bunking drivers) then productivity might also get a big boost from a freight relay system.
		After all, the tractors used in relays would not need sleepers, so the weight and length of sleepers could be converted to payload capacity instead.
