Unreferenced date December 2009 About handwriting other uses Slant disambiguation Slant is the predominant angle of the Ballistic stroke downward stroke in Western handwriting. A good basis for its estimation is the point of the handwritten curve where the velocity has its peak value in the downward stroke. The polar distribution of the running angle along a handwritten trajectory is another good method for estimating the slant angle. Left handed writing is often accompanied by a slant value which is larger than 90 degrees, i.e., it is bent backwards, to the left. In Graphology slant can refer to either upstroke or downstroke values. These strokes can made in the upper, middle, lower, or any combination of those zones.

about the similarly named but unrelated engine made by Triumph Triumph Slant 4 engine general information Inline four engine The Slant Four is a type of automobile car engine manufactured by Vauxhall Motors and in modified form by Lotus Cars . Unveiled in 1966, it was one of the first production overhead camshaft designs to use a rubber toothed belt to drive the camshaft from the crankshaft an honor shared with the 1966 Pontiac OHC Six , a method developed in 1956 by Bill Devin . Vauxhall The engine features four inline cylinder engine cylinder s inclined at an angle of approximately 45 degrees hence the name , and this is because Vauxhall had originally planned to develop a whole family of engines all built on the same production line. There was to be slant four and V8 versions in both petrol and diesel versions, designed under the guidance of Vauxhall s then chief engineer, John Alden. Although several diesel 4 cylinder and a V8 petrol engine prototypes were built only the 4 cylinder petrol made it to series production. There is a single overhead camshaft operating two Poppet valve valve s per cylinder. An ingenious valve train design incorporating an inclined screw socket head cap screw , allowed valve clearances to be adjusted with a feeler gauge and an Allen key . The block and crossflow cylinder head crossflow head are both of cast iron . The layout makes good use of the cylinder inclination to lower the overall height of the engine, which allowed for more aerodynamic designs of cars to be achieved by lowering the hood vehicle bonnet line. It also means most of the engine is very easy to access for maintenance, with the exception of the exhaust manifold and spark plug s, which are underneath the slanted cylinders.

Dynamic height is a way of specifying the height of a point above a reference, as opposed to orthometric height or normal height . Dynamic height is constant if one follows the same gravity potential as they move from place to place. Because of variations in gravity, surfaces having a constant difference in dynamic height may be closer or further apart in various places. Dynamic heights are usually chosen so that zero corresponds to the geoid. When optical leveling is done, the path corresponds closely to following a value of dynamic height horizontally, but to orthometric height for vertical changes measured on the leveling rod. Thus small corrections must be applied to field measurements to obtain the orthometric height usually used in engineering.

The former type of height gauge is often used in doctor s surgeries to find the height of people. These measuring tools are used in metalworking or metrology to either set or measure vertical distances the pointer is sharpened to allow it to act as a scriber and assist in marking out work pieces. They may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge then with the scriber set to the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened probe.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Normal heights are heights above sea level , one of several types of height which are all computed slightly differently. Alternatives are orthometric height s and dynamic height s. The normal height math H math of a point is computed from geopotential height geopotential numbers by dividing the point s geopotential number, i.e. its geopotential difference with that of sea level, by the average, normal gravity computed along the plumbline of the point. More precisely, along the ellipsoid al normal, averaging over the height range from 0 the ellipsoid to math H math the procedure is thus recursive. Normal heights are thus dependent upon the reference ellipsoid chosen. The Soviet Union and many other Eastern European countries have chosen a height system based on normal heights, determined by geodetic precise levelling. Normal gravity values are easy to compute and hypothesis free , i.e., one does not have to know, as one would for computing orthometric heights, the density of the Earth s crust around the plumbline. Normal heights figure prominently in the theory of the Earth s gravity field developed by the school of M.S. Molodenskii . The reference surface that normal heights are measured from is called the quasi geoid , a representation of mean sea level similar to the geoid and close to it, but lacking the physical interpretation of an equipotential surface.
