No Highway

Nevil Shute appended an author s note to No Highway. It states ... 

No Highway was published only one year after the general layout of the Comet had been finished. For some time Shute had been a close friend of Sir Alfred Pugsley, head of the Structural Department at Farnborough, where pioneering work on metal fatigue in military aircraft had been carried out in the early to mid-1940s, and thus the author was in a position to be quite... 

Oliver Wendell Holmes The Deacon s Masterpiece, about the absurdity of building a one-hoss shay that will not break down, is one such work. Nevil Shute s No Highway, about metal fatigue in a new airplane design, is another. And Robert Byrne s recent novel Skyscraper, by having technology as its main theme, is still...

The exterior form of MDF is used in special appHcations requiring durabiHty and resistance to water or weather exposure. Highway signs would be an example of this use of exterior MDF. It is an extremely expensive product and thus is used only for special appHcations requiring its special properties. Another example of use would be where a customer would be willing to pay the additional cost to use a composite which has the exceptional quaHties of MDF, but also has virtually no formaldehyde emissions. 

Hydrostatic Transmissions. The most recent use of hydrauhc power has been in hydrostatic transmissions which are used in many self-propelled harvesting machines and garden tractors and in large tractors and constmction machines. Apphcations in tmcks for highway operation also are being developed. No clutch is used and no gear shifting is involved, thus this type of transmission could be called automatic, but in all other respects the hydrostatic transmission has no similarity to the hydrokinetic automatic transmission (16).

Highway Construction. The preparation and use of sulfur—asphalt (SA) paving materials have been reviewed (45,46). In the 1930s, asphalt (qv) was easily available and priced lower than sulfur. As of the 1990s, this is no longer the case. There are four different types of sulfur paving materials.

The power spectra S(f) for transport phenomena in many diverse physical systems including transistors, superconductors, highway traffic and river flow ([bak88a],[carl90]) - has been experimentally observed to diverge at low frequencies with a power law f, with 0.8 < (3 < 1.4, Moreover, S f) obeys this power-law behavior over very large time scales. Commonly referred to as the l//-noise (or Bicker-noise noise) problem, there is currently no general theory that adequately explains the ubiquitous nature of 1/f noise. 

As the highway narrowed toward Bow Bridge, such was the press of horses and men-at-arms that my escort was mixed with the King s, and I found Edward himself riding no more than a head before me.
