On a pump shotgun, there is at least one metal piece that goes back from the pump slide (what you grab with your forward hand and move backwards and forward to eject the spent shotshell and chamber a new shotshell) to the actual bolt. This piece of metal actually pushes the bolt back (and in the process ejects the spent casing) and then pulls it forward (loading the next round into the chamber). This metal piece is called a linkage arm because it "links" the slide with the bolt and transfers the energy of the former to the latter. If there is ONE of these linkages, the action is referred to as single arm linkage. If there are two of these (one on each side of the barrel) the action is referred to as double arm linkage (because there are two of them). Some people prefer double arm linkages because the force is balanced on both sides of the barrel and there is less of a chance of the action binding. However there are also many shotguns with single arm linkages that have worked flawlessly for years.

How are wiper linkages replaced?

If one wants to replace a wiper linkage there are a few steps involved. Pull the wiper arm away from the windshield until the arm locks in vertical position. Unbolt the nut that holds the wiper arm to the linkage and pull the wiper arm off the linkage. Open the hood and unbolt the wiper motor and slide the motor off of the linkage. One then will remove the wiper linkage and install a new one.


What should your arm movement be when you are taking off in triple jump?

I am a college track and feild athlete, specializing in sprints and jumps. Each individual jumper should determine their stlye of jumping. The style will depend on the comfort of the jumper and how well he/she can execute the technique during practice. there are two common techniques for arm use during triple jump: 1. Double-arm action: prefered for faster jumpers who can accumulate more speed as they approach the board. The reason for this is because the double arm motion will slow you down as you prepare to approach the board. 2. Single-arm action: suggested for a slower jumper who can not accumulate as much speed. It will transfer all of the jumpers speed into the first phase of the jump.
