what is a bull wheel brake lever help help help

[Ironcat]

It's a lever with a hand brake attached that was used to stop cable cars, mountain sky trams, that sort of thing.

A bull wheel is the giant wheel that powered these types of conveyances

[xmastree]

Well, a quick google for bull wheel reveals that it's a wheel around which a belt or cable runs. Like you might see at each end of a ski lift for example.

If they have lever operated brakes, then there's your answer.


Now, why were you asking?

Edit: Damn, beaten to it.

Germanium point contact diode

[xmastree]

If you touch a wire to a germanium crystal in just the right place, it forms a diode.

Ever heard of a crystal set (radio)?
Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%27s_whisker

Anyway,that process is use to make signal diodes (as opposed to rectifier diodes, which are silicon and higher power).



my girlfriend has an exam, and she sent a sms
