Mechanical traveller

A mechanical traveller is a moving part of a machine, typically a ring that slides between different positions on a supporting rod when the machine goes through its operating cycle. The term may also be used refer to the supporting rod.

In sailing, it is a mechanical device used to modify the location at which lines used to control sails (such as sheets) are attached to the vessel. The attachment is often by means of a block through which the line runs; the block can move along the traveller. This allows independent control of the direction and tension of the line running through the block, which allows the sailor to position the block in the optimal location for the wind conditions and desired sail trim. This kind of traveller is often a metal track, which is attached to the deck of the boat. The block is attached to a "car", which much like a miniature railroad car, attaches to the track and slides along it in either direction. A traveller on a smaller craft (such as the popular single-handed "Laser" sailboat) might simply be a line attached to two points on the deck, along which another block runs. The term traveller can also be applied to the specialized lines used to control the location of the block.

Iveco

Iveco, an acronym for Industrial Vehicles Corporation, is an Italian industrial vehicle manufacturing company based in Turin, Italy, and entirely controlled by CNH Industrial Group. It designs and builds light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, quarry/construction site vehicles, city and intercity buses and special vehicles for applications such as firefighting, off-road missions, the military and civil defence.

The name IVECO first appeared in 1975 after a merger of Italian, French and German brands.

Its production plants are in Europe, Brazil, Russia, Australia, Africa, Argentina and China, and it has approximately 5,000 sales and assistance points in over 160 countries. The worldwide output of the company amounts to around 150,000 commercial vehicles with a turnover of about €10 billion.

History

Iveco was incorporated on 1 January 1975, with the merger of five different brands: Fiat Veicoli Industriali (with headquarters in Turin, Italy), OM (Brescia, Italy), Lancia Veicoli Speciali (Italy), Unic (France) and Magirus-Deutz (Germany).

Iveco 370

The Iveco 370 was an Italian bus produced by Fiat Veicoli Industriali starting from 1976, and, from 1980, by the IVECO consortium.

Produced in different lengths, it replaced the previous models Fiat 306, Fiat 308 and Fiat 309. It was built in two versions, suburban and Gran Turismo, in the length of 12 and 10.5 meters respectively, as well as a 9 m few units. The German-built Magirus M2000 was based on the Iveco 370.

There were eight possible engine configurations, varying from 9,572 cc, with 240 hp output, to 17,173 cc, with an output of 350 hp.

It was replaced by Iveco EuroClass since 1993, although the chassis was produced until 1999 for other coachbuilders.

Iveco Effeuno

The IVECO Effeuno is a class of Italian buses built between 1984 and 1989 by IVECO. They consisted of three different models with different internal arrangement: IVECO 471 for urban services, IVECO 571 for suburban services, and IVECO 671 for interurban services.

Engines were, for the urban version, a Fiat 8220.12, with 9572 cc and 203 HP, with an automatic transmission which could be chosen between Voith D851, ZF 4HP-500 or DB. The interurban and articulated version had a turbocharged Iveco with 9570 cc and 240 HP, with a ZF 5HP-500 automatic transmission.

The buses were provided (depending from the sub-manufacturer chosen by the customer) with two different chassis length, 10.5 m and 12 m. There was also an articulated version with a length of 18 m.

The bus was in service with numerous public transport companies in Italy, the first unit having been decommissioned starting from the 1990s-early 2000s.

The series was replaced by similar IVECO 480 class.
