** Game 7, Round 9 - Science - Automotive Terms
These are all taken from the textbook "Automotive Technology", 4th
edition. (Exciting, eh?) We'll give you a definition, and you give
us the term from the handout list:
Air gap Field coil Nodular iron Square wave
Air lock Flex plate Oversquare Squirm
Align boring Freeze plug Parasitic load Stator
Alternator Fuel rail Pintle Substrate
AND gate Governor Pulley Supercharger
Ball joint Hard spots Pushrod Tap
Bead Harmonics Rack and pinion Tempering
Camshaft Helical gear Reaming Throw
Chafing Heptane Recess Torque
Chamfer Idler Rectifier Unibody
Desiccant Impeller Ring lands Union
Detent Jig Shim Vapor lock
Diffusion Jounce Slip yoke Vortex flow
Distributor Lobe Solenoid Wheatstone bridge
Electrolyte LP gas Splay Zener diode
Evaporator Miscibility Splines
1. Upward suspension movement.
2. The edge of a tire's sidewall.
3. A substance that absorbs moisture.
4. Damage caused by friction and rubbing.
5. A device that limits the speed of a vehicle.
6. An electromagnetic switch with a movable core.

stream-of-consciousness style, it follows the Chimpden,
or Earwicker, family around Dublin, among other events.
Name it.

necessarily passing through the center?
B2. What is the term for a straight line (segment) whose
endpoints are both on the circumference of a circle, and
again not necessarily passing through the center?
C1. What island is shared by three countries, including Malaysia?
C2. What island's area includes an undisputed country, a zone
of disputed status, and a neutral zone?
F1. Name either of the """two""" Central American nations that have
won an Olympic medal.
F2. The only continental South American nation that """has not"""
won an Olympic medal is a landlocked country. Name it.
