The NS/Stick is an 8 string tapping instrument designed by Emmett Chapman and Ned Steinberger. It incorporates design ideas from both the original Stick and from Ned Steinberger's instruments such as the Stick's tapping fretboard and the Steinberger Bass' knee bar and headless design. The player can position the instrument upright for tapping or lower it to a horizontal position for picking, slapping, or strumming. Don Schiff is one of the most well known NS/Stick musicians.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The National Security Agency took over responsibility for all U.S. Government encryption systems when it was formed in 1952. The technical details of most NSA-approved systems are still classified, but much more about its early systems has become known and its most modern systems share at least some features with commercial products.Rotor machines from the 1940s and 1950s were mechanical marvels. The first generation electronic systems were quirky devices with cantankerous punch card readers for loading keys and failure-prone, tricky-to-maintain vacuum tube circuitry. Late 20th century systems are just black boxes, often literally. In fact they are called blackers in NSA parlance because they...

With the delivery of the new multiple units BM 73b and BM 93 NSB chose to give them the common name Agenda at the same time the old units BM 70 that had served on the ICE routes. The idea was to create a unified concept with three distinct products; the green Puls was the brand for local trains, the red Agenda for the regional trains and the blue Signatur for the express trains. NSB chose to paint the BM 92 and BM 69 multiple units in the Agenda color scheme, but has never allocated the brand name on them. Данное...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A locomotive is a railway vehicle that provides the motive power for a train. The word originates from the Latin loco – "from a place", ablative of locus, "place" + Medieval Latin motivus, "causing motion", and is a shortened form of the term locomotive engine,[1] first used in the early 19th century to distinguish between mobile and stationary steam engines. A locomotive has no payload capacity of its own, and its sole purpose is to move the train along the tracks. In contrast, some trains have self-propelled payload-carrying vehicles. These are not normally considered locomotives, and may be referred to as multiple units, motor coaches or railcars. Данное издание не...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! NSB Class 62 is the first electric railcar operated by Norges Statsbaner, between 1936 and 1970. Four units were built by Skabo and Norsk Elektrisk & Brown Boveri in 1931–35, with unit has been preserved by the Norwegian Railway Museum. The units served, along with trailer cars on the first mainline electrified railway, Drammenbanen. Two were delivered in 1931; two more in 1933. They proved to be underpowered, and were not used on the most heavily trafficked part of the line; mostly serving on trains to Asker or Heggedal. 62.02 was involved in an explosion at Filipstad on 13 December 1943 and retired. The units were not compatible with the newer NSB BM65 units delivered from 1936, and where...

It was purchased as the next generation of commuter trains to replace some of the older Class 69 units. Introduction of this class started in 2002 and the sets were initially branded as NSB Puls, though this brand has been phased out. A BM72 train consists of four cars. Like other commuter trains the carriage has five abreast seating. The windows on a BM72 are considerably larger than those on the BM69 trains.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The NSB class 30 was a 4-6-0 tender steam locomotive formerly used in Norway by Norges Statsbaner. The class 30 engines were an upsized version of the NSB Class 45 engines. Class 30 locomotives were originally intended for use on Dovrebanen, but they were employed throughout the Norwegian rail network. The first of these engines were produced in 1914, the last in 1939. A total of 45 type 30 engines were completed by Thune which produced 22 engines, and NMI which produced 23 engines. The type 30 was produced in three versions, 18 units were made of the lightest version the 30a (numbered 256-258, 271-282, and...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! During the late 1980s and early 1990s NSB decided to change their focus to what could become a competitive advantage. Focus on long-distance travel would be undercut, and instead focus on medium distance trains, particularly around Oslo. This lead to the NSB InterCity Express concept being launched, based on fixed, hourly frequency with upgraded service in new electric multiple units, using higher speeds than tradition trains, and with stops only in the larger towns and cities. The service was to be launched on the stfold Line, the Vestfold Line and the Dovre Line to Lillehammer. The service could take advantage of new lines between Ski and Moss, and the Gardermoen Line to Eidsvoll. Some of the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the 19th century the first railway locomotives were powered by steam, usually generated by burning coal. Because steam locomotives included one or more steam engines, they are sometimes referred to as "steam engines". The steam locomotive remained by far the most common type of locomotive until after World War II. The first steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick; it first ran on 21 February 1804, although it was some years before steam locomotive design became economically practical. The first commercial use of a steam locomotive was The Salamanca on the narrow gauge Middleton Railway in Leeds in 1812. The locomotive Fairy Queen, built in 1855 runs between Delhi and Alwar in India...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The NSB Di 4 is a diesel-electric locomotive used by Norwegian NSB railways to haul passenger trains on stretches which are not electrified. They are used mostly on Nordlandsbanen, since the other unelectrified stretches are usually served by diesel multiple units. The five Di 4s which were built were made by Henschel in 1980 and entered service a year later. They were supposed to be replaced with NSB Di 6 locomotives, but those engines were a total failure. Apart from shunters, the Di 4 is now the only diesel locomotive in NSB's fleet. They are numbered 4?651 to 4?655. Although not identical in looks, the Di4 is almost technically identical to the DSB Class ME. Данное издание...

In the 1990s the Norwegian State Railway had a need for light to medium power freight locomotives; at first the company hired DE 6400 type locomotives (see NS Class 6400) of the type used by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS). This led to an order of twenty similar locomotives, with features similar to the NS Class 6400 and the MaK DE 1002. including the single slightly off centre cab. The locomotives were about 3 m (9 ft 10 in) longer than their predecessors, and were powered by a more powerful Caterpillar Inc. engine (about 300 to 400 kW more powerful). Additionally the electrical transmission system was now sourced from Siemens (the locomotive factory's ultimate owner) rather than an ABB system...
