Caveats #1: Italy/Alfa Rule – there are always exceptions, intentional and otherwise. #2: 50+ years of maintenance creates changes, intentional and otherwise #3: Parts catalogs are great sources of information, but do contain errors. #4: Parts catalogs sometimes reuse illustration after part design changes. #5: Parts catalog artists did not always understand part assembly order as described by the engineer. #6: Bill Gillham may have summarized it correctly, “Alfa was consistently inconsistent”. 1 Revision History Version Date Section Change Entire document Some reformatting to match other documents by author Application Analysis / 750 & 101 - According to Parts Manual • Add part # of front assembly • Several number corrections Identification by Measurements ….

  • 2016 GKN Holdings Plc Annual Report
    GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 ANNUAL REPORT 31 DECEMBER 2016 GKN HOLDINGS PLC Registered Number: 66549 Strategic Report The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2016. 1. Business Review 2016 was another year of encouraging progress for GKN. Management profit before tax grew 12%, helped by favourable currency effects and the first full year contribution from Fokker. We also made good progress in executing our strategy, sharpening our focus and building momentum as we enter 2017. We continued to invest in technology, reinforcing our market leading positions in automotive and aerospace. This included developing our expertise in eDrive and additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, both of which we see as offering excellent opportunities for GKN’s future success. Financially the year could have been even better, but for the impact of operational issues in one of our North American Driveline plants which incurred significant cost over-runs on new product launches. GKN puts great emphasis on operational excellence and we have strengthened our processes in programme management to ensure all our locations consistently achieve the demanding standards required. Sharpening our focus In July, we announced a sharpening of our focus and we enter 2017 with a new structure of three divisions, with GKN Land Systems’ industrial business Stromag now sold and the rest of the division moved to other parts of the Group. The GKN Land Systems’ team has worked hard over the last few years, improving their operations around the world. But their markets have been tough, shrinking their sales and the size of the potential opportunity.

    BY-JITENDRA KUMAR Date-25/03/2020 Diploma Mechanical 3rd Year (6th Sem) ​ Subject-Automobile Engineering TOPIC:-PROPELLER SHAFT AND REAR AXLE Propeller shaft: The propeller shaft is a driving shaft which connects the transmission main shaft to the differential of the real axle. It transmits the power from gear box to rear axle with the help of universal joints. ... This changes the angle of drive between the propeller shaft and the transmission shaft. Main components Vehicle components and their functions. the essential vehicle components are: a)engines b)flywheel & clutch c)gearbox d)propeller shafts and universal joints (in RWD) e)drive shafts f)final drive g) steering RWD Engine Power Units engine is a machine that takes in a mixture of combustible air and fuel, burns it and convert heat energy released into mechanical energy which rotates then a crankshaft. Gearbox machine that takes engine power from a crankshaft and through a relay of gearwheels. allowing to change the speed of the vehicle. Flywheel the flywheel attached to the end of the crankshaft performs the task of absorbing excess energy while the crankshaft is accelerating on it’s power stroke and automatically transfer this stored kinetic energy to the crankshaft to overcome the resisting motion of the other cycles of the engine that will be described later. Clutch device that is used to separate the engine power unit while running from the final drive allowing the driver to change gears smoothly and bring the vehicle to standstill without engine stalling. Propeller shaft a hollow shaft that is used to transmit gearbox output to the final drive.

  • Automobile Engineering
    A Course Material on Automobile Engineering By Mr. T.Manokaran ME,MBA ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SASURIE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING VIJAYAMANGALAM – 638 056 Author Page At first I like to submit my sincere thanks to GOD, PARENTS and FRIENDS who have helped and encouraged me to prepare this entire course material for the subject of Automobile Engineering. Automobile Engineering is a vast field encompassing different types of vehicles used for transportation of people and materials. It is very difficult to cover all the aspects of automobile engineering in single notes, because vehicles are being refined and improved day by day. However an attempt is made in this course material to give the maximum possible details of fundamentals of the automobile vehicles. It is always challenging to decide whether historical notes should come before or after the description and interpretation of the state of the art. Arguing for the second alternative is the fact that readers should already have understood the motivations that drive a design decision. We begin this chapter with basis of automobile, and through by the transmissions and steering systems, going on later to describe wheels, tires and braking & suspension systems. This emphasis is solely due to the larger impact that suspensions and steering systems have on vehicle architecture and its consequent evolution; steering systems will be described together with suspensions because these two systems are indissoluble from the point of view of designers. Knowing is not enough, We must apply. Willing is not enough, We must do. ALL the BEST T.Manokaran ME,MBA Assistant Professor Department of Mech.Engg.

  • Iniezioneiniezione the Newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club
    IniezioneIniezione The newsletter of the Northwest Alfa Romeo Club Words by Fred Russell Chili Sulla Spiaggia Photos by Gordy Hyde The driveway and parking area around Fred Wright and Kathy Lombardo’s wonderful home outside of Olympia had more Alfa Romeos than ever before. As I pulled in with my Sport Sedan, I saw another Alfetta Sedan, 2 Milanos, and a 164. Counting the other non-Alfas there were at least 7 more cars including Fiat 500s, Miatas, and more. All these cars had arrived carrying people, chili, and cornbread for the annual NWARC Chili CookOff & Cornbread Contest. The home is located on a beach along the eastern shore of Totten Inlet. The area used to be the stomping grounds of the Squaxon tribe that lived just north of the inlet near the current town of Allyn. On the 25th of May, 1792, the area was explored by Peter Puget as part of the Vancouver Expedition. During his visit to Totten Inlet, he noted “… we found abundance of small oysters. In this [inlet] were many beautiful spots. The low surrounding country, though thickly covered with wood, had a very pleasant appearance.” I’d say we agree since it was equally pleasant for NWARC, and experts note that the nutrient rich inlet pro- duces some of the best oysters found anywhere. The club’s history visiting this location is a little shorter, but equally as notewor- thy. Fred & Kathy have hosted this for a few years but each one has become more crowded than the previous. This year, we had 10 different entries in the Chili CookOff.
