There were at least two models of The American .38 Revolver manufactured in the very early 1900s. I have one of each. One came to me from my Grandfather (1880-1964) and the other from an Uncle (1875-1955). One model is 'hammerless', i.e. double action only. There is an exposed hammer but without a thumb tang. There is a scoring on the hammer to facilitate pulling it back needed. This model was an ideal pocket gun - no hammer tang to hand up in the pocket. The second is both double action and single action. This hammer has a thumb tang. Neither of the guns have any safety features to prevent accidental firing. A common way would be to rest the hammer in between two cartridges, or on an empty chamber on on a fired cartridge. These were the Saturday night specials of the day. The gun's firing pin was part of the hammer and as such was not replaceable. The firing pin easily broke and the entire hammer had to be replace - obviously these guns were not for target practice. As an FYI, my Grandfather and Uncle lived in the deep South during KKK days.

Is time and a half more pay than double pay?
No. Time and a half is 1 and a half times normal, double is twice normal pay.
When you double your speed in a car does it take double the time to stop?
No, it takes more than double the time. It probably takes the same amount of time for the driver to react - though given that at double the speed you are passing twice as many things outside, your reaction time may be affected. The kinetic energy of the car increases as the square of the velocity and this must be reduced to zero when you have stopped. So the relationship is non-linear.

What is single action and double action presses?
Single action (SA) A single-action trigger, sometimes single-action only, performs the single action of releasing the hammer or striker to discharge the firearm each time the trigger is pulled. Almost all rifles and shotguns use this type of trigger. Single-action semi-automatic pistols require that the hammer be cocked before the first round is fired. Once the first round is fired the automatic movement of the slide cocks the hammer for each subsequent shot. The pistol, once cocked, can be fired by pulling the trigger once for each shot until the magazine is empty. The M1911 is a single-action pistol that functions in this manner. Double action (DA) Invented by Robert Adams, a double-action trigger performs two functions when pulling the trigger, first cocking the hammer then releasing it to discharge the firearm. When this term is applied to revolvers, the trigger also rotates the cylinder. Though this is technically a third action, it is correct to refer to the mechanism as double-action. Most pistols and revolvers with a double-action trigger mechanism retain the single action functionality: See the Double action/Single action (DA/SA) description below.

its usually a hammer action Actually, it means a couple of different things. The term action can refer to the internal parts that make the gun cycle, feed, and fire, or it can refer to how the handgun works. A double action gun is a gun that has two trigger modes. The trigger is long and heavy, then the gun stays cocked and the subsequent trigger pulls are short and light. A double action only gun is a gun that has a long heavy trigger every time. A single action gun is a gun that must be hammer cocked before it can fire. Whether it has a hammer or not is not directly related to what type of action it has.
