Continental Corporation for automotive infotronics; with Alteams in
Finland for high pressure die casting and recently, with John Deere for
construction equipment.

based Avia's truck business

3) This was developed by Hyundai
Motors specifically for the smaller
steel boxes running on the roads, or
hatches to be less critical.
Now, what makes this engine "the
special one" is the fact that this

America, East Europe etc, and so as
it turns out, it really is a hell of
a fuel efficient heart. In

designed by Charles Robinson Sykes and carries with
it a story about a secret passion between John
Walter Montagu and his secret love and the model
for the emblem, Eleanor Velasco Thornton. Eleanor
was John Walter's secretary, and their love was to
remain hidden due to Eleanor's impoverished social
and economic status, which was an obstacle to their
love. John-Walter, succumbing to family
pressures, married Lady Cecil Victoria
Constance, but the secret love affair continued.

Montagu on his journey to India, was torpedoed

X, built in 1855, is the world's oldest steam locomotive in regular operation
today, plying between New Delhi to Alwar in India.The locomotive was
certified by the Guinness Book of Records to be the oldest operational
locomotive after the Rajasthan government invoked it in 2004 to lug a deluxe
train in order to boost tourism in the area.
X was constructed in Leeds, England in 1855, and reached Calcutta in the same
year where it was christened as the X.The locomotive was given its fleet
number 22, by its then owner,The East Indian Railway. It began to haul light
mail trains between Howrah and Raniganj, but was soon consigned to line
construction duty in the state of Bihar, where it served until 1909.The
locomotive spent the next thirty-four years on a pedestal outside the Howrah
Railway Station near Calcutta. In 1943, the locomotive was shifted to the
RailwayZonalTraining School at Chandausi, where it served as a curiosity
object for many of the students based there. In 1972, the Indian government
bequeathed heritage status to the engine, rendering it a national treasure. In
1997, after the runaway success of the Palace onWheels, the locomotive was
restored to full working order in preparation for its first mainline journey in 88
years and its return to commercial service on July 18 that year.

 WHY DID HE SAY SO?

3)
GIVE ME X.
X was recognized by 19th-century feminists and suffragists as a "freedom
machine" for women. American Susan B. Anthony said in a New York
World interview on February 2, 1896: "Let me tell you what I think of X. I
think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the
world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and
rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel... the picture of
free, untrammeled womanhood." In 1895 Frances Willard, the tightly laced
president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, wrote a book in
which she praised the X , and which she named "Gladys", for its
"gladdening effect" on her health and political optimism. She proclaimed "I
would not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into
momentum."The craze for X in the 1890s also led to a movement for so-
called rational dress, which helped liberate women from corsets and ankle-
length skirts and other restrictive garments, substituting the then-shocking
bloomers.

6) What safety mechanism am I
talking about?
 X is a system intended to bridge the gap between primary
safety, which aims to prevent a car from being involved in an
accident, and secondary safety, which is the protection
provided during a collision.At speeds above 30km/h X monitors
the dynamic state of the vehicle (speed, rotation etc.) and the
driver’s inputs to steering, accelerator and brake, to determine
whether or not emergency action is being taken. If so, the
system deems that a collision is imminent: among other
measures, it takes the slack out of the seat belts using
reversible tensioners; it optimises the occupants’ seating
position if electrically adjustable seats are fitted; and, if there is
much rotation or side slip and a side impact or roll-over is
considered likely, it closes the electric windows and sunroof. X
is always on; it cannot be switched off by the driver and
provides protection at all speeds above 30km/h.
