What is a javelin?

A javelin is a long pole approximately 2 meters long used in the javelin field event of track and field. Javelin makes and models vary in terms of weighting, weight distribution and material composition, but most standard javelins are made of aluminum, steel or carbon. At its approximate center of gravity, a length of cord is wrapped around the shaft to create a grip for the thrower. The thickness of a javelin tapers at both ends, coming to a silver point at its head and a thinner, less pointed (yet still relatively sharp) end at its tail. Painted designs and emblems vary depending on the design and maker of the implement.


What would a 1 Form C relay and a 1 Form A and 1 Form B relay be?

Hi All answered in http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/4782 = Relay Forms = 121 ratings | 4.61 out of 5 | Print DocumentRelays are classified by their number of poles and number of throws. The pole of a relay is the terminal common to every path. Each position that the pole can connect to is called a throw. A relay can be made of n poles and m throws. For example, a single-pole single-throw relay (SPST) has one pole and one throw, as illustrated in the following figure. A single-pole double-throw (SPDT) relay has one pole and two throws, as illustrated in the following figure: A double-pole double-throw (DPDT) relay has two poles, each with two simultaneously controlled throws, as illustrated in the following figure: Relays are then classified into forms. Relay forms are categorized by the number of poles and throws as well as the default position of the relay. Three common relay forms are: A, B, and C. Form A Form A relays are SPST with a default state of normally open. Form B Form B relays are SPST with a default state of normally closed. Form C Form C relays are SPDT and break the connection with one throw before making contact with the other (break-before-make).
