  PORTALAND BRIDGE SCRAPER RECLAIMERS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
This machine recovers material from the sides of the stockpile and because he boom can be lifted has the advantage of being able to move to any one of the in-line row of stockpiles in any sequence to reclaim material.
The movement of the bridge reclaimer is restricted between adjacent stockpiles as the reclaim boom cannot be lifted and traps the reclaimer between stockpiles.
With the reclaim boom in the horizontal position the unit operates as a bridge reclaimer recovering material from the end of the stockpile.

The twin shaft boom is long enough to maintain an average 145 meters between the lower mid-deck of the Hotel Wing and the floating Hub Core (3).
(4) Twin elevator shaft booms, (7) trusswork-free central bay, (3) Rendezvous Vestibule is the stubby cylindrical base section attached to the hub core (6) "North" ("Neptune-ward") of the elevator shafts (depending on orientation) along the axis of rotation.
A flare shield 2 meters thick and 60 feet in diameter sunward of the twin booms and opposite (floating with) the hub/transfer vestibule (= storm shelter) and staff cabins, made of compacted and sintered lunar regolith would weigh over 3,000 tons and be slow rotating.

A dummy stubmast was used just to try everything out on the ground before raising the boom up for bolting onto the real submast which with a 24 foot overall length of boom is nearly 13 feet off the ground with the mast cranked over.
The remainder of the elements (the longest ones) were then attached to the boom and the rear end shorting stub fastened before the whole assembly was winched up into position.
All the boom and element junctions which are conductive have graphite powder embedded in WD40 in them in order to expell salt air and to ensure conductivity.

One year at school there were 2 sets of twins in the same grade, which probably doesnt sound like alot, but when there were only 18 kids in total in the grade its kinda a high proportion.
Genetically, only fraternal twins are hereditory, as they are two eggs, identicals are a "freak of nature" and despite all the research done into them, they are unable to find a cause!
My SIL who is a twin was told she had a 70% chance of having a multiple birth first time, and after her first set a 90% chance again - she did.

 Schweizer RU-38B Twin Condor
It offers by incorporating twin turbine engines, twin tailbooms, a tricycle landing gear, a larger cockpit, higher useful loads and gross weight, and more payload capacity to achieve a significantly upgraded capability.
The most important differences between the RU-38B and the SA 2-37A are the addition of twin turbine engines in a pusher-puller configuration; additional payload weight and volume; and a larger crew compartment.
By equipping the RU-38B with twin, turbo-charged engines and a modular payload concept, the same basic airframe can be adapted for low altitude “quiet” reconnaissance or high altitude standoff surveillance roles.

Nowadays, the department's laboratory is conducting various experiments to study the effects on bio and electromagnetic fields on the natural process of cell division during meiosis.
Although this is still an ongoing research, one thing has already been determined: the lower the mammalian class, the higher is the chance for twins to be born.In 2004 there's been a real "twin boom" in the Russian town of Kirov and scientists still have no idea as to how to approach the matter.
In the meantime, the entire array of twins and triplets in the region is considered to be mere coincidence.

From this asymmetric port cockpit, several feet removed from the center of thrust, test pilots carefully evaluated the effects upon their own performance and that of the aircraft in various maneuvers.
The experiment revealed no adverse effects, and although the Twin Mustang arrived too late for World War II, it joined the Air Force as an escort fighter and night fighter, and went on to a successful combat career in the Korean War.
To cut down on drag, the fuselage was also made as narrow as possible, leaving barely enough frontal area for the pilot and a pair of turbojet engines.

 Might Have Beens: Italian Twin-Engined Fighters, 1943
Since further power would not be immediately forthcoming—the larger displacement DB.603 was not yet available to the Italians—drag reduction seemed the only course open to the designers.
Keeping the same engines and the same, basic wing and tail design, the designers abandoned the central gondola and placed the crew in a redesigned port tail boom.
They installed two 20-mm MG.151 cannon in the leading edge of a now substantially narrower center section, one MG.151 between the cylinder blocks of the starboard engine, firing through the airscrew hub, and two synchronized, 12.7-mm, Breda-SAFAT machine guns under each engine.

A tricycle landing gear was fitted, with the nosewheel retracting into the fuselage and the mainwheels retracting into the booms.
The center wing section was designed around the newly-developed NACA "ducted wing", in which the airflow was taken in via narrow slots in the wing leading edge and directed over the oil and coolant radiators and then to the intercoolers and eventually fed into the engine via ducts in the wing trailing edge.
Armament was changed to a pair of 37-mm T-12/T-13 cannon with 60 rpg and twin 0.50-in M2 machine guns with 500 rpg, all mounted in the nose.
