| ARTICLES RELATED TO tracking | | | |  tracking: Encyclopedia II - Rail tracks - HistorySome early rails were made by William Jessop in the 1790s.
The steel mills making early rails often used some of the rails to build the tramways that bought iron ore and coal to those foundries.
It took many decades for weak and fragile iron rails to evolve into the strong and robust steel rails of today. But problems can still occur, such as happened with the Hatfield train derailment in Great Britain on October 17, 2000. The accident involved gauge corner cracking which is now referred to as rolling contact fatigue, as th ...

| | | | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Blood on the Tracks - Writing and recording Blood on the Tracks More than two months after finishing his 1974 American tour with The Band, Dylan travelled back to New York City, where he looked up an art teacher, Norman Raeben. Dylan was working on his skills as a painter, and Raeben was recommended to him by his friends in California. In 1978, Dylan recalled that his friends "were talking about truth and love and beauty, and all these words I had heard for years, and they had 'em all defined...I asked them, 'Where do you come up with all those definitions?' and they told me about [Raeben]. I made a poin ...

| | | | | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Blood on the Tracks - Outtakes and alternate versions Tim Riley describes "Up to Me" as "another buried treasure that becomes a sublime cover on Roger McGuinn's Cardiff Rose (1976)...its armload of self-referencing touches operate as blueprints for Blood on the Tracks' major themes of obession, denial, and melancholy humor. 'Up to Me' works as both the engine of feeling underlying the album and one of the sliest self-references Dylan ever gets up the nerve to sing: 'How my lone guitar played sweet for you that old-time melody / And the harmonica around my neck, I blew it for you, ...

| | | | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Rail tracks - Continuous welded rail Most modern railways use continuous welded rail (CWR); in this form of track the rails are welded together, by utilising the thermite reaction, to form one continuous rail that may be several kilometres long. Because there are few joints, this form of track is very strong, gives a smooth ride, and needs less maintenance.
Because of its strength, trains travelling on welded track can travel at higher speeds and with less friction. Welded rails are more expensive to lay than join ...

Kokoda Track Campaign - The running rabbits incident.
After the fighting, withdrawal, and the relief of the 21st Brigade by the 25th Brigade, Blamey visited the remnants of Maroubra Force near base camp, outside Port Moresby. He relieved Potts of his command, citing Pott's failure to hold back the Japanese, despite commanding "superior forces" and, despite explicit orders to the contrary, Pott's failure to launch an offensive to re-take Kokoda. Blamey replaced Potts with Brigadier Ivan Dougherty, who wa ...

| | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Dirt track racing - The racetrack Nearly all tracks are oval and less than a mile in length with most being 1/2 mile or less. The most common increments in the U.S. are 1/2 mile, 3/8 mile, 1/4 mile, and 1/8 mile. With the longer tracks, the racecars achieve higher speeds and the interval between cars increases. This decreases the chance of crashes but increases the damage and chance of injury when cars do crash.
The track surface may be composed of any soil, but most racers prefer a track with a clay base. The track operators usually try to keep the surface tacky and may sprinkle water on it if it begins to dry. Some oper ...

| | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Rail tracks - Railway rail Unlike other uses of iron and steel, railway rails are subject to very high stresses and have to be made of very high quality steel. It took many decades to improve the quality of the materials, including the change from iron to steel. Minor flaws in the steel that pose no problems with, say, reinforcing rods for buildings, can lead to broken rails and dangerous derailments when used on railway tracks.
The rails represent a substantial fraction of the cost of a railway line. Only a small number of rail sizes are made by the steelworks ...

The world record has been held by many of the greatest names in cycling - most of them road racing specialists with the necessary combination of speed and, above all, endurance - for example: Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Francesco Moser, Miguel ...

| | | | | | tracking: Encyclopedia II - Dirt track racing - The racecar Each racetrack or sponsoring organization maintains a rule book outlining each class of racecar; including dimensions, engine size, equipment requirements, prohibitions, etc. The requirements for each class are usually coordinated with other racetracks and associations to allow for the widest available venue for each type of car. This coordination allows the drivers to enter many different racetracks, increasing their chances of winning; allows the racetrack to field as many cars as possible; lets the racing associations develop a ...
