Meyer (surname)
The surname Meyer is an English, Dutch, German, and Jewish surname. With its numerous variants (Myer, Meyr, Meier, Meijer, Mayer, Maier, Mayr, Mair etc., though not all instances of these names are necessarily cognate), it is the most common German surname. Its original meaning in Middle High German ''mei(g)er'' is "manager (of a lord's country estate)", derived from Latin ''maior domus'', i.e. "headman of a household" (cf. mayor), later on also simply meaning "tenant" or "(free) farmer". It is therefore a rough equivalent of the English Steward which has also frequently been turned into a surname (incl. Stuart and other variants). This appellation was also frequently used to form longer, more specific surnames, cf. Bergmair, Niedermeier etc. Furthermore, many German Jews adopted ''Meyer'' or a variant thereof as a surname when they assimilated to German culture in the 18th century, as it is close to the Hebrew first name '' Me'ir'' (מֵאִיר), i.e. "shining, enlighte ...

Meyer Locomotive
A Meyer locomotive is a type of articulated locomotive. The design was never as popular as the Garratt or Mallet locomotives. It can be best regarded as 19th Century competition for the early compound Mallet and also the Fairlie articulated designs. Most single cab modern trains are of a similar design such as power cars, freight diesel locomotives, and some passenger locomotives. Development and design The Meyer was in fact invented by Austrian engineer Wenzel Günther of the Wiener Neustädter Lokomotivfabrik for the Semmering Trials of 1851. However, the technology wasn't yet developed for the steam to be reliably transported to the bogies with reasonable amount of leaks, and despite generally good performance of the design on the trials the company abandoned the idea. It was reinvigorated by Frenchman Jean-Jacques Meyer (1804-1877), who took out a patent on the design in 1861. The first locomotive, an named ''L'Avenir'' (Future), was built by in 1868 with the support of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
