On behalf of the drivers, Earl Howe wrote a letter to The Motor complaining that the rules were considered an embarrassment and would turn races from international events into second rate affairs.

Other flights went to the Mechanics School at RFC Salisbury, RFC Andover and the motor transport school at RFC Yatesbury.

Alcator C-Mod

The success of Alcator A led to the conceptual design, beginning in 1975, of a larger machine called Alcator B. However, the motor-generators used for Alcator A would not be powerful enough to drive the larger Alcator B machine, necessitating the purchase and installation of new power supplies, a cost which the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) was unwilling to fund.

Associated Commercial Vehicles

Associated Commercial Vehicles (ACV) was founded on October 1, 1948 by the United Kingdom based vehicle manufacturer Associated Equipment Company upon that company's purchase of the motor manufacturers Crossley Motors & Maudslay Motor Company; at which time ACV became the holding company for those concerns and the manufacturing business of the Associated Equipment Company itself that was renamed AEC Ltd.

The motor boat was then chased by one of the Patiños SH-3 Sea King helicopters for 3,000 yards, warned by megaphone and eventually stopped after a last outburst across her bows from the helicopter's machine gun.

Automated guideway transit

The Getty Center in Los Angeles uses a unique vertically oriented AGT to bring visitors from a parking lot off Interstate 405 to the Center at the top of a hill in Brentwood; this system places the motor outside the vehicle at the top of the guideway to reduce the weight lifted up the hill and thus improve efficiency.

Bell's law

Bell's Law or Bell-Magendie Law, a law demonstrated by Charles Bell, a Scottish surgeon, describing and distinguishing two types of roots of the spinal nerves, the motor and the sensory.

Benny Rothman

Working as an errand boy in the motor trade, he studied geography and economics in his spare time while his Aunt Ettie introduced him to The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and the works of Upton Sinclair.

Degrees of freedom problem

In neurophysiological studies, the motor system is modeled as a distributed, often hierarchical system with the spinal cord controlling the "most automatic" of movements such as stretch reflexes, and the cortex controlling the "most voluntary" actions such as reaching for an object, with the brainstem performing a function somewhere in between the two.

Detroit Thunder

The Thunder are the third indoor football team to have called the Motor City home, following two Arena Football League teams: the four-time ArenaBowl champion Detroit Drive (1988 Arena Football League season-1993) and the Detroit Fury (2001 Arena Football League season-2004 Arena Football League season).

Exhausted combination doctrine

In any event, the Quanta decision appears to hold that the exhaustion doctrine shields from infringement liability the foregoing motor purchaser that incorporates the motor into a disk drive.

Flint, Michigan auto industry

The plant opened on Chevrolet Avenue about 1913, comprising the Motor Division (engine-assembly and engine-parts plants) and the Pressed Metal Division (parts plants) and the pre-World War II Chevrolet Assembly (Plant Two) and Fisher Body #2 plants (later Chevrolet Plant 2A).

Fort Wadsworth

The comic book version of the elite United States military counterterrorism unit G.I. Joe was based in "The Pit," a secret underground base beneath the Motor Pool of the Army Chaplains' Assistants School in Fort Wadsworth.

Freedom-class littoral combat ship

On 15 April 2003, the Lockheed Martin LCS team unveiled their Sea Blade concept based on the hull form of the motor yacht Destriero.

Fulton Hogan

After the motor vehicle gained increasing prominence in the 1920s, political and popular pressure grew to create a system of New Zealand State Highways.

GreenWheel

Developed by William J. Mitchell and other team members at the Smart Cities project at the MIT Media Lab, the GreenWheel puts the motor and its batteries inside a housing that fits into the bicycle's wheel hub.

History of Ramsgate

One of the Dunkirk 'little ships' still moored at Ramsgate and open to the public is the Motor Yacht Sundowner, (built 1912) once the private yacht of the second officer of the Titanic, C.H. Lightoller, whom surviving that fatal wreck later insisted personally at being at the helm during the evacuation of Dunkirk.

Janine Gibson

Her father was an employee of the motor car manufacturer Ford of Europe, and her mother a teacher, Her father's work for Ford meant that the family moved every few years, settling in several countries before returning to Germany.

Lawrence W. Barsalou

For example, in TMS studies it has been shown that during stimulation of parts of the motor cortex that are active during leg motions comprehension of sentences describing activities dealing with legs is improved.

Memory-prediction framework

It is proposed that the motor areas of the cortex consist of a behavioural hierarchy similar to the sensory hierarchy, with the lowest levels consisting of explicit motor commands to musculature and the highest levels corresponding to abstract prescriptions (e.g. 'resize the browser').

Mike Hawthorn

Driving at speed (one witness estimated 80 m.p.h.), Hawthorn overtook a Mercedes-Benz 300SL 'gull-wing' sports car driven by an acquaintance, the motor racing team manager Robert Walker.

Moose test

In 1997, the journalist Robert Collin from the motor magazine Teknikens Värld overturned the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class in the moose test, while a Trabant—a much older, and widely mocked car from the former German Democratic Republic—managed it perfectly.

Motor cortex

The clearest example of the coordination of muscles into complex movement in the motor cortex comes from the work of Graziano and colleagues on the monkey brain.

Motor soft starter

A motor soft starter is a device used with AC electric motors to temporarily reduce the load and torque in the powertrain and electrical current surge of the motor during startup.

Electrical soft starters can use solid state devices to control the current flow and therefore the voltage applied to the motor.

They can be connected in series with the line voltage applied to the motor, or can be connected inside the delta (Δ) loop of a delta-connected motor, controlling the voltage applied to each winding.

Motor variable

At the National University of La Plata in 1935, J.C. Vignaux, an expert in convergence of infinite series, contributed four articles on the motor variable to the university’s annual periodical.

Nervus intermedius

The nervus intermedius, or intermediate nerve, or "nerve of Wrisberg", is the part of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) located between the motor component of the facial nerve and the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII).

New-Map

The motor-bikes were powered using motors brought in from specialist suppliers such as AMC, Blackburne, J.A.P., MAG and Ydral.

Nigel Caple

After graduation he continued to be tutored by Miles at various locations including Ronda in Spain, Morley College in London and The Motor House in North Yorkshire.

Peter Crill

Finally, they restarted the motor and landed safely at Agon-Coutainville near Coutances.

Pfitzner Flyer

The aircraft consisted of a rectangular cuboid cross-braced central frame, onto which the main monoplane wing, the motor, the forward and rear booms and the ‘undercarriage’ (consisting of one wheel at each of the lower corners) were mounted.

Posterior limb of internal capsule

The anterior two-thirds of the occipital part of the internal capsule contains fibers of the corticospinal tract, which arise in the motor area of the cerebral cortex and, passing downward through the middle three-fifths of the base of the cerebral peduncle, are continued into the pyramids of the medulla oblongata.

Robert Flanagan

In this position, Flanagan would be charged with the management of the Port of Baltimore, the Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI), the Motor Vehicle Administration, the various transportation entities, such as the MARC Train, the Baltimore Light Rail, the Baltimore Subway, and the Maryland bus system (MTA), and various tolls and bridges, such as the Fort McHenry Tunnel and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

Supplementary motor area

The locomotion hypothesis is an example of interpreting the motor cortex in terms of the underlying behavioral repertoire from which abstract control functions emerge, an approach emphasized by Graziano and colleagues.

The Benjamin Gate

The Benjamin Gate was a South African Christian rock band formed in 1998 following the motor vehicle accident and subsequent death of a mutual friend and fellow musician, Ben.
