Why is a fish called 74?
The fish was named 74 by Captain Alex Anderson who was my Great-Great Uncle. He named it 74 after the French designed sailing ships called 74s as they had 74 guns. The spots down the sides of the fish apparently reminded my uncle of the gun portals of the 74s. A few of these ships were captured by the British copied and used extensively by them.

What is the value of a Winchester Model 74 long rifle?
I would have to say that the obvious answer would be..."whatever someone is willing to pay for it". I'm not being coy, just truthful. What is the condition of your rifle? Stock,barrel,firing mechanism,sights,sight bridge,bluing,spring loaded push arm? All these points factor into what you might possibly get from a prospective buyer. Because the Model 74 is not "ALL that" collectable, and because the 74s' were produced quite some time ago, the market for this rifle is pretty skinny.(IMO) Mine has a serial number of 203051A. It belonged to my grandfather and I'm nearly 60 years old. Does that mean anything? Actually no. I have no idea when he bought it but, I do remember seeing it around for a very long time. He "could" have purchased it in the 40's. The Winchester Model 74 was manufactured from 1939 to 1945 the first year of production it was produced in 22 short only after that it was produced as a 22 Long Rifle. You can find the value by looking it up in one of several publications that provide that type of information.
What does a 73 super beetle have an alternator or generator?
I believe the early '73s had Generators and the late '73s had Alternators. It depends on what the previous owners put on? (It may have been the '74s tho.) A lot of people put alternators on for a few more amps. The generators are barrel looking, kinda like a coffee can and the Alternators have a lip or flange all the way around on the rear near the pulley.
How many American ships of the line?
The United States operated no ships of the line during the Revolution although one or two 74s or 3rd rates were under construction at the time. One was completed, the America, but it was given to France in recognition of her assistance to the U.S. during the revolution and because a French ship of the line was lost on the way back to France after Yorktown. During John Adams presidency, six 74s were authorized but none were laid down before Thomas Jefferson took office. Jefferson had no interest in a big seagoing navy for the U.S. It took the war of 1812 to convince the congress that the US needed at least a semblance of a battle fleet. 5 74s were began during the war (including 2 on Lake Erie) and two were basically complete by war's end but saw no action. The first 3 American ships of the line were considered failures because they carried their lower gun ports too close to the water so in combat they would only be able to function as big frigates. The first one, USS Independence was so bad that it had to have its lower gun ports caulked shut on its first Transatlantic crossing. Too many heavy guns and too little depth of hold (for buoyancy were the primary causes. 9 more were authorized by Congress in 1816 and 4 saw active service as ships of the line, although the Navy never operated more than two at a time during the 1820's through the 1840's. They were a big drain on manpower and larger numbers of smaller ships could accomplish the Navy's peacetime missions more efficiently. 2 were put into ordinary (reserve) immediately after completion or were converted to receiving ships (floating barracks) or storeships (floating warehouses). 2 on the east coast and 2 on lake Erie were never launched. The later U.S. ships of the line were much more successful designs. One of the 74s, the USS Ohio was considered one of the best of her type in the world. The U.S. built one first rate, the USS Pensylvania rated at 120 guns. She would have required a crew of over 1000 and was immediately put in reserve after just one short voyage.
What weapons were used in Afghanistan by NATO forces?
Some units of the Afghan National Army have received M16 and M4 rifles, but, generally, the AKM and Chinese Type 56 rifles are standard. Some AK-74s are in service, but not particularly commonplace.

If you run 400 meters in 1 minute and 42 seconds how many miles per hour is that equal to?
Convert the meters to miles as follows using the "slash and burn" technique. Make sure your units cancel and you're left with the correct units at the end. I alway remember that one inch equals 2.54 cm and there are 100 cm in a meter so..... 400 meters = 40,000 cm * 1 inch / 2.54 cm * 1 foot / 12 inches * 1 miles / 5,280 feet = .24855 miles Now, convert 1 minute and 42 seconds into hours 1 min 42 sec = 1 and 42/60 minutes or 1.7 minutes 1.7 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = .028333 hours So, you have 0.24855 miles/0.028333 hours = 8.7725 miles/hour
What is an AK74?
The AK74 is a gas-operated automatic rifle chambered in 5.45x39. The rifle has the distinctive look of the AK series with a curved detachable magazine, tall front sight and a pistol grip. The 74 stands for 1974, the year the rifle was officially accepted into service by the Soviet Army. Mass-production began in 1976. The AK74 is an updated version of the AKM, which was the modernized version of the original AK. The major change was the caliber switch from 7.62 to 5.45 along with some other minor tweaks for ease of manufacture and improved accuracy. AK74 served as the basis for variants, such as the AK74S (folding stock), AKSU (short barrel), and many others. The newest iteration of the design is the AK-100 series. Despite it being accepted as the main service rifle for the Russian Federation armed forces the AK74 remains in service with many units. Besides the Soviet Union and its successor states, the AK-74 was widely adopted by many Soviet client states and other nations, in particular users of the AK and the AKM, although not nearly as extensively as those rifles. Like the AK and the AKM, the AK-74 was copied both illicitly and under license. Yugoslavia license built the weapon as the M80, and it was featured prominently among many of the armed forces operating in the country during the 1990s. It remains the service weapon for many of the former Yugoslav republics. Semi-automatic variants of the AK-74 have gained in popularity with gun owners in the United States due to laws there restricting manufacture of machineguns for civilian use. Civilian rifles (and pistols) based on the Kalashnikov include a hodgepodge of features from various countries, even being available in 5.56 x 45 mm. Captured AK-74s and several variants thereof have also been used by the Mujahideen, Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, and by Osama Bin Laden and his subordinates in videos and interviews. Value is around $300 to $500 depending on the buyer and what other assessories the weapons has to offer and how many times its been fired. A brand new one could be valued at close to a thousand dollars.

How many Roadrunner GTX's were produced?
Through 1971, the Plymouth Road Runner and GTX were separate models. Traditionally the VIN of the Road Runner started with RM23, and the GTX started with RS23. The base Road Runner came standard with a 383ci engine and a minimum of options. The GTX came standard with the 440ci engine, and was appointed with several standard options. The Road Runner was the cheap muscle car, and the GTX was the luxury muscle car. This changed in 1972 as the GTX was dropped as a stand alone model and the 400ci engine became standard for the Road Runner. If you ordered a Road Runner with the one of two 440ci engine options that year, the model became a Road Runner GTX, included additional badging as such. There were 672 Road Runner GTXs produced in 1972. 219 were 4spd manuals, and 453 were automatics. In 1973 and 74, the 318ci engine became standard in the Road Runner. Again, if you ordered the 440ci engine, your Road Runner became a Road Runner GTX. In 1973, 749 Road Runner GTXs were produced. And in 1974, 386 Road Runner GTXs were produced. All 1973/74s were automatics. So the final answer is: There were 1,807 Road Runner GTXs produced from 1972 through 1974. The model name for all "U" and "V" engine coded '72-74 RM23/RM21s is "Road Runner GTX". This official model name change is as described by existing Chrysler documentation; "Road Runner will become a Road Runner GTX when it is ordered with either the 440 4-barrel or 440 6-barrel optional engines"
