Notes
1 küllük(?) ⇑
2 Brülör yakıt-hava karışımını özellikle sıvı (fuel-oil) ya da gaz (doğalgaz veya sıvılaştırılmış petrol gazı) sağlayan elemandır, kazan anlamında kullanılmaz, TCDD’de “boyler” dendiğini duymuştum ⇑
3 Emniyet sübabı ⇑
4 Kızdırılmış buhar (superheated steam) için istim de deniyor ⇑
5 Super heater için “cehennemlik” dendiğini biliyorum ama superheating için ne diyorlar TCDD’de bilmiyorum. Termodinamikte “aşırı kızdırıcı” deniyor ⇑
6 “reosta” diye kullanıldığını duydum ⇑
7 “cer” dendiğini duydum ⇑
8 Düz geçiş için kullanılan ⇑
9 Diğer yöne de gitmeye izin veren makaslı X geçiş ⇑
