ENTERPRISE
HISTORY
The Anbessa City Bus service enterprise started as Share
Company founded in 1945 and owned by Emperor Haile Selasie
and member of the royal family, before it was nationalized in
1974. It comes to public enterprise only after it was reestablished
in 1994.
Anbesa has recently begun to acquire buses assembled locally by
the metal and engineering corporation, a newly established
military industrial complex of Ethiopian government. It has
included in its fleet 180 of this local assembled buses known as
bishoftu buses, bearing the towns name where the assembled
plant is located. Eight of these buses are in jimma although
Anbessa only operates in Addis Ababa and special zones of
Oromia regional state.
Currently, there are 540 city buses under the enterprise, nearly
half of which are out of service due to technical failures. The enter
[price operates 93 routes in and around Addis Ababa. Each bus
has a capacity for 100 passengers (30 seated and 70 standings).
These buses cover a collective distance of 54,000KM daily and
provide their service to 1.5million people as indicated in
2006/2007 to 2010/2011 five year strategic document s of the
administration.

Note: battery acid could refer to any acid used in a chemical cell
or battery but usually this term supplied to describe the acid used
in sulfuric acid battery.
Procurers
Put 65% distilled water into mixer
Slowly mix 35% sulfuric acid into distilled water, this is most
dangerous part. All pouring must be done. if you arent going
to do this right, then dont do it at all.
Let the solution to cool (acid water) for about 24 hours
since during formation of solution the solution get hot.
Using hydrometer measure the degree of solution. The
hydrometer has three reading level, due to their mass it is
possible to detect weather a sulfuric acid or dilute water is
excess if the acid is excess more water will add, and if water
is excess acid will add.
Pour the solution in to battery house up to its level and by
referring the manual charge the battery.
When we mix concentrated sulfuric acid and water, we pour the
acid in to a larger
Volume of water. Mixing the chemicals, the other way can present
a lab safety hazard. If you add water in to concentrated sulfuric
acid, it can boil and split and may get a nasty acid burn. if you
spill some acid on your skin, you have to wash it with copious
amount of running could water as soon as possible.
NOTE: water is less dense than sulfuric acid, so if you pour water
on acid, the reaction occurs on the top of the liquid. If you add the
acid to the water, it sink and reaction take place through the
water.
AUTOMOTIVE CLUTCHES
INTRODUCTION
An automotive clutch is used to connect/engage and
disconnect/disengage the engine and manual (hand-shifted)
transmission or transaxle, both starting up and during gear
shifting. A friction type of clutch is used in motor vehicles with
manually operated transmission or transaxle.
Clutch requirements:
It must engage the engine and transmission/transaxle
smoothly,
Once it engages, it must transmit power entirely without
slipping,
It must disengage the transmission/transaxle accurately
and quickly to
Permit gear change when a vehicle is in motion.
NOTE: clutch is made form
NEAD OF CLUTCH:
Clutch is needed because the engine spins all the time
but the cars
wheel does not.
In order for a car to stop without stopping the engine,
the wheel need disconnected from the somehow.
In order to change gear easily.
1. Clutch Housing
The clutch housing is a stamped or cast metal part, which houses
the clutch and connects the transmission housing to the back of
the engine.
2. The Flywheel
The flywheel is a fairly large wheel that is connected to the
crankshaft. The clutch assembly is mounted to the flywheel,
sandwiching the clutch disk in between. It also provides a friction
surface to the clutch. A bearing, called the "pilot bearing" is
installed in a hole in the center of the flywheel. This lubricated
bearing, either a ball bearing ng or a bronze bushing, is used to
support one end of the clutch shaft, which is also the transmission
input shaft.
ring gears are usually replaced. Some ring gears can be removed
from the fly-wheel and replaced
