Abstract: A correlator system for automatic car wash has roller assemblies for supporting the front left and right wheels of a vehicle entering a car wash line. A set of guide rails or bars cooperate with the roller assemblies to adjust axial displacement and angular misalignment between the vehicle's front end and a conveyor track transporting the vehicle through the car wash facility. The rollers in the roller assembly rotate freely with minimal friction, axially displacing the front end of the vehicle and adjusting the angular misalignment of the front wheels. The low friction, easy-to-rotate rollers are provided with a plurality of braking elements that generate friction against the rollers, retarding their rotation when a worker steps thereon. The friction generated by the braking elements is insufficient to prevent roller rotation during alignment of the front end with the conveyor track.

Abstract: A device for cutting B-X cable has a pair of pivotally interconnected operating members, each of which defines cutting jaws, with one of the operating members having a bifurcated end portion that defines a pair of spaced cutting jaws receiving therebetween the cutting jaw of the other operating member. The lower surface of the bifurcated jaws are notched transversely of their length in a configuration which is adapted to receive one of the convolutions or corrugations of the B-X cable when the single cutting jaw of the other operating member is inserted longitudinally into the end of the B-X cable. This single cutting jaw has a tapered free end portion which enables it to be inserted beneath the metal wrapping of the B-X cable so that the cable can be cut along its length by movement of the handle portions of the operating members towards each other. The notched portions of the bifurcated cutting jaws provide a positive gripping engagement with the curved B-X cable.
