River Croco
The River Croco () is a small river in Cheshire in England. It starts as lowland field drainage west of Congleton, flows along the south edge of Holmes Chapel, and joins the River Dane at Middlewich. It is about long. According to an historical account, dating back to 1585, the course of the River Croco begins west of Bag Mere, Brereton cum Smethwick: :That which they call the ''Croco'' is a small ''Brook'', which cometh out of ''Bagmer-mere'', and passeth by ''Brereton'' church and hall (the ancient house of the surname of ''Breretons'') through ''Brereton'' park, ''Kinderton'' park, through ''Middlewich'', and not far from thence, falleth into the ''Dane'' at ''Croxton'', near the same place, where the ''Wheelock'' falleth in also. ''The Place-Names of England and Wales'' (1915) suggests that the name ''Croco'' may be Celtic or even earlier. Historical maps show the source of the river to be the lowland field drainage system to the northeast of Brookhouse Green. From her ...

Crocodile
Crocodiles (family (biology), family Crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. The term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant taxon, extant members of the order (biology), order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae) among other extinct taxa. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological family (biology), families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while Morphology (biology), morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Crocodile (train Protection System)
A crocodile is a component of train protection systems used in France and Belgium. It works similarly to the Automatic Warning System (AWS) used in the United Kingdom. Communication between the ground-based signalling system and the in-cab equipment is made by the crocodile, an electrical contact placed between the rails and a metallic brush mounted beneath the locomotive cab. It is distinctively French, originating on the Chemins de Fer du Nord around 1872, spreading throughout France and penetrating into Belgium and Luxembourg after 1900. It was intended principally to provide evidence of the alertness of the driver, not to act to control a train automatically. The crocodile is an invention of the engineers Lartigue and Forest. Originally it was placed 100–200 metres in front of a distant signal, usually a red disc of "deferred stop". When recording of cab signals was introduced, the device was moved closer to the signal, most often directly opposite it, to reduce the chanc ...
