unusual facts about Tubular-pneumatic action


Tubular-pneumatic action

Until the advent of the tubular-pneumatic action, all organs used a system of levers and wooden rods called trackers to transmit the action of the keys and stops to the valves contained within the windchests.


Acidosis

Mutations to the V-ATPase 'a4' or 'B1' isoforms result in distal renal tubular acidosis, a condition that leads to metabolic acidosis, in some cases with sensorineural deafness.

Agusta A.115

It was essentially a Bell 47J-3 with an unclad, tubular tail boom, and powered by a Turboméca Astazou II turboshaft engine.

Blacknor Fort

In 1937-39, anti-aircraft rockets, using 3-inch tubular charges produced by the Royal Naval Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, were tested at the fort by the Explosives Research Department of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich.

Britannia Bridge

The most notable of the other tubular bridges were Stephenson's Conwy railway bridge between Llandudno Junction and Conwy, and Victoria Bridge across the Saint Lawrence River at Montreal.

Bungartz Butz

It featured a tubular chassis, a mid-mounted engine, and independent wheel suspension with swing-axles at the rear.

Dent's disease

Dent's disease was first described by Charles Enrique Dent and M. Friedman in 1964, when they reported two unrelated British boys with rickets associated with renal tubular damage characterized by hypercalciuria, hyperphosphaturia, proteinuria, and aminoaciduria.

Drill string

When the vibrator tunes to the resonant frequency of the system, the reactive load impedance cancels out to zero by virtue of the inductance reactance (mass of the system) equalling the compliance or stiffness reactance (elasticity of the tubular).

Elacatinus chancei

The shortstripe goby lives in association with a tubular sponge such as Verongia aerophoba or a massive sponge such as Neofibularia nolitangere.

Elmer T. Cunningham

This design proved influential on vacuum tube production, and prompted De Forest to come up with a Tubular Audion.

Erica verticillata

Various pollinators such as bees and birds such as Southern Double-collared Sunbirds have been observed feeding on the tubular pink flowers on E.

Galanthus nivalis

pleniflorus 'Walrus' — a curious double, its outers resemble narrow, tubular, greenish "tusks" up to 2.5 cm long, the inners usually form a neat, widely splayed rosette; the long foliose spathe may sometimes split, as in 'Scharlockii'; selected at Maidwell, Northamptonshire in the 1960s

Horten Ho 229

:Planned two-seat all-weather fighter, in construction at Friedrichroda, but not much more than the center-section's tubular framework completed.

Hour 25

"Jupiter" from Holst's The Planets was also used, as well as "Tubular Bells" and other mixed material.

Hyperchloremic acidosis

Renal tubular acidosis failure of HCO3- resorption(i.e., proximal renal tubular acidosis, or overdose of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) or failure of H+ secretion (i.e. in distal renal tubular acidosis)

Ibaliidae

An apical tubular process is present on the second tarsomere of the hind leg.

Jenard Jabeka

The two-seater sportscar had a tubular chassis with an Austin A40 or Coventry Climax 1100cc engine.

Mobius Motors

Mobius Motors is an automaker that started in Mombasa, Kenya but is now based in Nairobi, Kenya that builds inexpensive vehicles "by integrating off-the-shelf parts within a durable and safe tubular steel frame"

No. 1 Deansgate

The apartments are above a retail level, 16 metres high, and are supported by raking steel tubular columns in a manner reminiscent of Rotterdam's De Brug building.

Ocepechelon

The feeding apparatus of Ocepechelon, a bony pipette-like snout, is unique among tetrapods and shares unique convergences with both syngnathid fishes (unique long tubular bony snout ending in a rounded and forward directed mouth) and beaked whales (large size and elongated edentulous jaws).

Paramount Cars

Founded by WA Hudson and S Underwood from Derbyshire, the Paramount had an aluminium over wood frame body with BMW like grille and was mounted on a separate tubular steel chassis with front transverse and rear semi elliptical leaf springs.

Richard Delafield

While superintendent of repair work on the Cumberland Road east of the Ohio River, he designed and built Dunlap's Creek Bridge in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, the first cast-iron tubular-arch bridge in the United States.

Robert Hope-Jones

Among his innovations in the field of organ design was a kind of electro-pneumatic action, the Diaphone and the modern Tibia Clausa with its strong 8′ flute tone.

Sandwich-structured composite

1726 Jacob Leupold documents tubular bridges with compression-loaded roofs.

The Complete Tubular Bells

This box set includes Tubular Bells 2003 (a re-recording of the original Tubular Bells), Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III.

The Orchestral Tubular Bells

The Orchestral Tubular Bells was not the only Mike Oldfield album that was orchestrated at the time, David Bedford also wrote the score for Oldfield's second album, Hergest Ridge.

Tubular bells

Tracey Ullman's 1983 cover of Kirsty MacColl's "They Don't Know" features tubular bells in a celebratory manner, reminiscent of wedding bells.

Tubular Bells II 20th Anniversary Tour

The Tubular Bells II 20th Anniversary Tour 1992/93 was a concert tour by the British multi-instrumentalist Mike Oldfield.

Following this tour Oldfield did not perform until the premiere of his next Tubular Bells album, Tubular Bells III.
