Deadman, английский
- Homme-mort
- Anchoring device buried in the ground to which a guy or anchor line is attached. also called anchor log (24).
- A buried concrete block, log, plate, or the like, which serves as an anchorage, e.g., as an anchor for a tie to a retaining wall; depends on its own weight and passive pressure from the soil to hold it in place.
- A buried log, timber, concrete block, or the like serving as an anchor for a guyline or a deadline, or as an anchor to which a pulling line can be attached.
- Анкер, заглублённый в грунт, проф. мертвяк
- A safety device, commonly known as `the deadman`s handle`, fitted to master controllers to ensure driver attention during driving in single-manned cabs. if the controller handle is released, the power is cut off and the emergency brake applied. more modern versions, referred to as a `driver`s safety device` or a `vigilance device`, often take the form of a foot operated pedal which must be reset within a given time to prevent the train being stopped automatically. usually, an advance warning is given to allow the driver to reset. it is a matter of some pride amongst drivers that they can time the need to reset within a few seconds without causing an alarm.
