) What Is This Called

[Yair Nixon]

sajt.se/contents/Navigation/Modelling/Patterns_Rigg_Viking.htm seems to call it a wantenbefestigung which Google translation believes to be a 'shroud attachment'. But I wouldn't put much faith is such a translation.

Actually, I doubt that we can ever know what the parts are known, because there are no contemporary written sources that match the archaeological finds. I am not an expert on Nordic shipping, but perhaps there is somewhere an equivalent modern part in use. Its modern name then may be derived from the old term ...

Don't know what they're called, but I have some modern metal ones (much smaller scale) bought in outdoor supply store. I use them to tension the guy ropes on the pool's leaf net cover every fall, then remove the net after the leaves are down and before snow.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.

OP's version #1 (using how instead of what is [something] called?) is a typical non-native speaker error. If you compare Google's results for how what called site-specific to ELL and again for site-specific to ELU, you'll see the error often occurs in actual question titles from non-native speakers.

Also, probably a lot of incorrect versions have been subsequently edited by ELU users. I must admit I feel I ought to go through all the "unnatural phrasing" question titles on ELL and correct them (but maybe if I wait, someone else will deal with it to help obtain their "Copy Editor" badge :).

Is there a suggestion that you can not use 'how' or 'what', you understand either or both, and it isn't because one is wrong and the other is right.As a child growing up in Glasgow I knew that if there was something I couldn't understand I'd question the other by using 'how'.I wasn't just asking for an explanation, no I was challenging the other speakers, but as an adult I rarely use 'how' as a means of defence but it is definitely heavier than 'what'.

After a Google I was going to say "stack diagram" but my Googling apparently just found the page you got that diagram from so I guess you've discounted that answer already.

I can't remember what we call them at work.

The red blocks are "other systems out of scope for this particular discussion can plug in here" that represent anywhere between 0 and 1000 other systems. This is but a slice of a subecosystem that makes up a tiny portion of our overall ecosystem.

Because the Moon produces no visible light of its own, we can only see the parts of the Moon that are lit up by other objects. A small amount of light comes from distant stars and the reflection of light from the Earth (known as Earthshine). However the main source of light for the Moon is the Sun.

If the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun in its orbit, then the back side of the Moon is being lit up and the side facing the Earth is in darkness. This is called a new Moon. If the Moon is on the other side of the Earth compared to the Sun, then the near side of the Moon will be fully lit up: a full Moon.

In between these, the Moon goes through multiple stages of partial illumination during its different phases. These are the banana-shaped crescent Moon, the D-shaped quarter Moon and the almost complete gibbous Moon.

The full, quarter and new Moons are all the instants in time when the Moon is exactly fully, half or not at all illuminated from our perspective on Earth. The crescent and gibbous Moons each last approximately a week.

The number of Moon names differs slightly from tribe to tribe, but many assign either 12 or 13 full moons to the year. These names were then adopted by the Colonial Americans and have entered popular culture; below you can see a few alternatives alongside the most popular names for each month's full moon.

Native Americans called this last full moon of winter the worm moon after the worm trails that would appear in the newly thawed ground. Other names include chaste moon, death moon, crust moon and sap moon, after the tapping of the maple trees.

Northern Native Americans call April's full moon the pink moon after a species of early blooming wildflower. In other cultures, this moon is called the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.

Many cultures refer to May's full moon as the flower moon thanks to the abundant blooming that occurs as spring gets going properly. Other names include the hare moon, the corn planting moon, and the milk moon.

In North America, the harvesting of strawberries in June gives that month's full moon its name. Europeans have dubbed it the rose moon, while other cultures named it the hot moon for the beginning of the summer heat.

Male deer, which shed their antlers every year, begin to regrow them in July, hence the Native American name for July's full moon. Some refer to this moon as the thunder moon, due to the summer storms in this month. Other names include the hay moon, after the July hay harvest.

North American fishing tribes called August's full moon the sturgeon moon since the species appeared in number during this month. It's also been called the green corn moon, the grain moon, and the red moon for the reddish hue it often takes on in the summer haze.

September's full corn moon is so called because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season. At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright and rises early, letting farmers continue harvesting into the night. This moon is also sometimes named the barley moon, and it is often the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox, earning the title of 'harvest moon'.

After the harvest moon comes the hunter's moon, in the preferred month to hunt summer-fattened deer and fox unable to hide in bare fields. Like the harvest moon, the hunter's moon is also particularly bright and long in the sky, giving hunters the opportunity to stalk prey at night. Other names include the travel moon and the dying grass moon.

There is disagreement over the origin of November's beaver moon name. Some say it comes from Native Americans setting beaver traps during this month, while others say the name comes from the heavy activity of beavers building their winter dams. Another name is the frost moon.

The harvest moon is one of the most familiar Moon names and refers to the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox. The light of the Harvest Moon enables farmers to work late into the night, helping them to bring in the crops from the fields. This usually falls in September.

Trying to find out what this is called. Obviously needs some correction and replacement. I have also been looking through threads regarding chassis stiffening hoping someone has reinforced this and could offer advice on how to repair this if i cannot source a replacement

It is really the top frame rail of the front of the car. No idea what is is actually called. Many people (me included) add a bar from the end of the rocker up diagonal to that frame to supplement it.

That top frame box is a very difficult piece to find, you maybe able to find a used one from a wrecked Z but they are hard to come by. I would drill out the spot welds on that piece, remove it and repair it as best you can. Here is some of the reinforcement I did to my car. Nothing was welded yet , just test fitting.

Thanks guys. I have seen where some folks remove the whole piece and make a tube front for rigidity. I'm doing a rebuild on an old v8 swapped car and will most likely be replacing the inner and outer rocker panels as well(along with floors). The car was supposed to have driven fine but i'm trying to do this build some justice and do it right. I also am trying to keep it somewhat stock appearing and am not wanting to fully cage the car. We will see as we continue o dig into the car.

The few examples I have seen pics of made me wonder how well those tubular fronts are attached to the original body to avoid a flex point. At least some of the attachment points should run well back into the body eg through or under the rocker panels.

Agree with Richard. The huge attachment point of the upper frame rail and its connection to the the cowl which is a torque box is an important part of the already weak Datsun structure.

If you're going to replace it there needs to be a load path, can't just weld a plate to the firewall and then run the brace off of that. Running it to the A pillar bar of a cage, which is then reinforced by door bars is a good way to handle it if it needs to be removed.

Grannyknot's mod looks fine, but I would weld the original frame rail back to the tube that he added, so both are structural.

@grannyknot what is your plane for tying that in beyond the firewall? I am not wanting to do a full cage in the car and was curious what you were doing. I have seen the old Z tech article about tying the rockers together without a cage. I'll see if I can find it again.
