An automotive vehicle is provided, for use inter alia as a mobile anti-tank guided missile-firing platform, which is sufficiently inexpensive to be expendable in battle and can be readily carried by a helicopter. The vehicle has a main frame comprising a pair of longitudinal closed box section members joined to form a ladder construction by a cross member and having strong points for the mounting of an engine and gearbox. The ground wheels, which lean outwards by about 5 degrees, are mounted on ...

The invention relates to a rack for a vehicle. The rack comprises a seat for holding goods or a person and side walls for containing the goods or the person on the seat. Carriers for a gun or the like are connected to the side walls. A device is also connected to the side walls for allowing the person to rest his or her leg thereon and also for guarding rear tires of the vehicle from having mud and the like splashed thereon. The rack is mounted to and, preferably, used in combination with an all...

A cleaning solution consisting essentially of isopropyl alcohol, linear dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid, a primary alcohol containing 9 to 11 carbon atoms and an average of about 6 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, a primary alcohol containing 9 to 11 carbon atoms and an average of about 2.5 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol, sodium lauryl sulfate and dy-methol poly siloxane emulsified in water.

In order to provide an all-angle gradient magnetometer, first and second magnetic resonance cells are mounted to a common base and separated by a predetermined distance. Circularly polarized pumping light is passed through the two cells orthogonally. Mixed with the circularly polarized pumping light is readout light which is linearly polarized. At the output of the cells appropriate filters are provided to filter out the pumping light whereafter the modulated readout light is detected in push-pu...

This sprung seat notably for off-the-road vehicles is mounted on a base frame and provided with elastic return means in the form of a hydropneumatic device associated with an automatic monitoring distributor adapted to be connected to the pressure fluid circuit of the vehicle and capable of regulating the fluid pressure in the hydropneumatic device as a function of the seat squab frame oscillation. The hydropneumatic device is constructed to eliminate any mechanical frictional contact and incorp...
