Talk:Code 39

I think
I think I have noticed a thin white space (Format 2: 'w') between each character in this barcode fromat. Is this worth mentioning in the article?--Commander Keane 11:02, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * That space is definately there. That's why Code 39 is a 'discrete' code, rather than a 'continuous' code (eg, Code 128). It's probably worth mentioning, but then there's a bunch of other things worth mentioning too. Are we trying to put the full specification of Code 39 here? :) Personally, I think that would be cool :) -- Ch'marr 19:14, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * I added a link to a specification page in another Wiki. Up to now, however, this seems to include less information than this Wikipedia article. wr 87.139.81.19 13:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

The space doesn't have to be a thin one, see this example: --Tilman (talk) 14:27, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

A better way of representing the code.
Personally, I dislike the 'NwN' and 'bWb' nomenclature for representing the code. There's too much of a 'disconnect' between this nomenclature and how it's represented in real life (as black and white regions). Does anyone else do it this way? Ideally we should be using graphics, but I can certainly understand that that isn't feasible here. Instead, I propose using '#' and '_' characters to represent a dark and light region. For example, use this for the letter L: #_###_#_#___###. This would also be useable for the other barcoding standards. -- Ch'marr 19:19, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Looks cute, but it's hard to count consecutive underscore characters. 141.189.251.1 (talk) 13:30, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Maybe some other characters would be better e.g. 11OO10011   or #'###'#'#'''### 141.189.251.1 (talk) 13:37, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Gabelstaplerfahrer (talk) 20:17, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) '###'#'#'''### or #.###.#.#...### look good to me, should work well when copy-pasting to text editors as well. Single and double quotes are always tricky as they are interpreted differently and formatted to UTF-8 characters.

Code 39 Extension
Does anyone know of the US Code 39 Extension coding? If so, please post its specifications. Thanks. 75.31.138.94 19:12, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Order of Table
The table which shows the encoding of each character, places the punctuation at the top, followed by the digits and finally the letters. Given that the checksum encoding places the characters in a different order, and uses that order in its calculations, could we rearrange the table to have the same ordering. The description of the checksum simply refers to the ordinal value of the character, and you have to look at the sample code to see that what that order is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David ORourke (talk • contribs) 13:11, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Done 141.189.251.1 (talk) 13:29, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

upside down and backwards
type 39 barcodes can be read backwards -- in this case, the characters will be re-mapped. In perl:

$backwards='PAEJJAAFFP';

$forward='*00116641*';

$backwards=reverse $backwards;

$backwards=~tr/\ \$\%\*\+\-\.\/0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/S\%\$P\/ML\+FAHGEDJCBI1875403296U\.\-YX\*WV\ ZKRQONT/;

if ($forward eq $backwards){print "matched\n";}

Useful in the case of a fax cover sheet that can be fed in either way.

Broken table
The table seems to be incorrectly formated and is is completely unreadable. (I guess that the width of spaces depends on the font or how it's rendered?) Can't we use something universally readable, like ones and zeros?--109.81.213.241 (talk) 14:30, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Easier parsing of table information:
A lot of good suggestions here as to how to represent the data in a table that could easily be easily understood or easily parsed into code, but no table. As someone who wrote code from the information here I misinterpreted the table data three times. After studying the images and compared them to the table I finally go it. I would like to share my great appreciation for all who contributed to this page as it allowed me to produce working code. The table does have all the data needed and if you're a little more adroit than me it probably isn't an issue. To make things simple I've added this table here with several interpretations. I'm not sure any of this is right for the main page but thought it worth sharing. Again many thanks to all the contributors. As someone who gets things wrong more often than I'd like, if the table below is flawed please let me know.

Timecop

Timecop is a 1994 American science fiction action film directed by Peter Hyams and co-written by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden. Richardson also served as executive producer. The film is based on Timecop, a story created by Richardson, written by Verheiden, and drawn by Ron Randall, which appeared in the anthology comic Dark Horse Comics, published by Dark Horse Comics. It is the first installment in the Timecop franchise.

The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, a police officer in 1994 and later a U.S. federal agent in 2004, when time travel has been made possible. It also stars Ron Silver as a corrupt politician and Mia Sara as Melissa Walker, the agent's wife. The story follows Walker's life as he fights time-travel crime and investigates the politician's plans.

Timecop remains Van Damme's highest-grossing film as a lead actor (his second to break the $100 million barrier worldwide). Although met with mixed reviews, it is generally regarded by critics as one of Van Damme's best films.

Plot
In 1863, Gainesville, Georgia, a time traveller with futuristic weapons slaughters five Confederate soldiers and steals their shipment of gold bullion.

In 1994, the Justice Department funds the creation of the clandestine Time Enforcement Commission (TEC) to combat the emerging threat of the past being altered following the invention of time travel technology by Dr. Hans Kleindast. Users are unable to travel to the future as it has not yet happened, but they can travel to and change the past, creating ripples through time that alter the present. Senator Aaron McComb volunteers to oversee the TEC and police officer Eugene Matuzak is assigned as the TEC's initial commissioner. Metropolitan Police Department officer Max Walker is offered a position at the TEC but before he can accept, he and his wife Melissa are attacked by unknown assailants; Walker is left for dead while Melissa is killed when their house explodes.

In 2004, veteran TEC agent Walker travels to 1929 to apprehend his former partner Lyle Atwood who is using future knowledge to profit from the stock market crash. Atwood confesses to working for McComb who is using his position to send subordinates through time to obtain funds for his failing presidential campaign. Fearing McComb will erase him and his family from history as a punishment, Atwood refuses to testify and is executed for his crimes by the TEC. During McComb's visit to the TEC, Walker infers his suspicions of McComb.

After surviving an ambush at his home by McComb's henchmen, Walker is assigned a new partner, Sarah Fielding. Walker and Fielding travel to 1994 to investigate a time disturbance and discover a younger McComb being bought out of a computer chip manufacturing company by his partner Jack Parker. The 2004 McComb arrives to prevent his 1994 self from accepting the deal, advising him the chip will soon be worth billions, and cautioning that they must not touch as the same matter cannot occupy the same space. McComb kills Parker and Fielding betrays and captures Walker, admitting she is in McComb's employ. In the ensuing shootout, McComb shoots Fielding and escapes to 2004.

Walker returns to a heavily altered future where McComb is a wealthy presidential frontrunner and has shut down the TEC to prevent further interference in his plans. Walker convinces Matuzak, who is oblivious to McComb's changes, that he and Walker were close friends. They deduce that McComb is using Kleindast's original time travel prototype and Matuzak helps send Walker back in time to restore history before being shot dead by McComb's guards. McComb concludes that Walker must be erased at a point before he ever joined the TEC to eliminate his interference.

Back in 1994, Walker finds Fielding recovering in a hospital. She agrees to testify against McComb but while Walker is erasing evidence of her treatment she is murdered; Walker discovers Melissa had been for treatment because she was pregnant. Realizing this is the day of her murder, Walker finds Melissa, reveals he is from the future, and convinces her to ensure his 1994 self does not leave that night for work. That night, the attackers, revealed to be McComb's henchmen, attack the younger Walker, but he and Melissa are able to fight them off with aid from the older Walker. The 2004 McComb arrives and takes Melissa hostage, confronting Walker with a C4 explosive. McComb accepts he will die in the explosion but Walker's death will mean McComb's younger self will become president unhindered. However, Walker reveals he has lured the 1994 McComb to the house and he pushes him into the older McComb, merging them into a writhing, screaming mass of flesh that then disappears. Walker carries Melissa out of the house before it is destroyed by the bomb, and places her beside his unconscious younger self.

Back in 2004, Walker finds that Matuzak and Fielding are alive and at the active TEC, while Senator McComb disappeared in 1994, erasing his future actions. Walker is taken to his still-intact house where he finds Melissa and his young son waiting for him.

Production
Mike Richardson wrote a three-part story titled "Time Cop: A Man Out of Time" that was included in the launch of the Dark Horse Comics anthology series in 1992. Richardson developed the story, while the comic was written by Mark Verheiden and drawn by Ron Randall. The comic told a story of Max Walker, a Time Enforcement Commission agent whose wife is implied to be dead (though the circumstances of this are unknown). Max pursues an illegal time traveler robbing a South African diamond mine in the 1930s. After capturing the robber and returning to present time, Walker realizes the timeline has been damaged because the criminal's robotic bodyguard remained in the past and was still active. Walker returns to the 1930s and defeats the robot with the help of a local whom he rewards with a diamond. Returning home, the timeline is largely restored but readers see the local became a political leader who helped end Apartheid.

Richardson and Verheiden then teamed up to write the screenplay for the movie adaptation.

"It wasn’t at all planned from the beginning that I would make two films with Jean-Claude Van Damme back-to-back. I was approached to do Timecop, and I loved the auspices. (Producer) Larry Gordon was involved with it; Moshe Diamant was a terrific producer; Sam Raimi was involved... It was a really clever story, and I thought it was a chance to make the best movie Van Damme ever made. I said yes and we made it, and it was clear that it was going to be a hit because it previewed through the roof every time. It’s still his biggest hit. So Universal and Moshe Diamant wanted to team us again as soon as possible, so they put Sudden Death together. There was never any question that we would just do Timecop 2. I would never have agreed to that. The last thing you want to do is repeat yourself. That would be awful."

Music
The musical score of Timecop was composed by Mark Isham and conducted by Ken Kugler.

Soundtrack

Home media
Timecop was first released on VHS on February 21, 1995, LaserDisc on February 28, 1995, and later released on DVD January 20, 1998. The DVD extras include production notes, a theatrical trailer and notes on the cast and crew.

By 2010, the rights to the film had reverted to Largo successor InterMedia, and distribution shifted to Warner Home Video. A Blu-ray of the film was released as a double feature for both this and Bloodsport from Warner Home Video on September 14, 2010, which has the full uncut 98-minute version in 2.35:1 widescreen, but no extra features.

Box office
Timecop was released in the U.S. on September 16, 1994, where it opened at the number 1 spot with $12,064,625 from 2,228 theaters, and a $5,415 average per theater. In its second week, it took the top spot again with $8,176,615. It finished its run with $45 million in the U.S. In other territories, it grossed about $57 million, for a total worldwide gross of $101 million. This makes it Van Damme's highest-grossing film in which he played the leading role, and his second to make over $100 million overall (after Universal Soldier).

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 42% rating based on 45 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2/10. The site's consensus is: "It's no Terminator, but for those willing to suspend disbelief and rational thought, Timecop provides limited sci-fi action rewards." On Metacritic, it has a score of 48% based on reviews from 17 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.

Critics were mixed on Timecop, citing its various plot holes and inconsistencies. Roger Ebert called Timecop a low-rent Terminator. Richard Harrington of The Washington Post said, "For once, Van Damme's accent is easier to understand than the plot." David Richards of The New York Times disparaged Van Damme's acting and previous films but called Timecop "his classiest effort to date".

The film made Entertainment Weekly's "Underrated Films" list in November 2010, mostly because of Van Damme's acting.

Novelization
In September 1994, a novelization of the film was written by author S.D. Perry was published by Penguin.

Sequel and franchise
The film was followed by a TV series of the same name, running for nine episodes in 1997 on ABC. It starred T.W. King as Jack Logan and Cristi Conaway as Claire Hemmings.

A direct-to-DVD sequel, Timecop 2: The Berlin Decision, was released in 2003, starring Jason Scott Lee and Thomas Ian Griffith, and directed by Steve Boyum. In 2010, Universal Pictures announced a remake of the film, to be written by Mark and Brian Gunn, but it was never made.

The film, which was originally based on a comic, was adapted into a two-issue comic book series of the same name. A game based on the movie was developed by Cryo Interactive and released on the SNES in 1995. Additionally, a series of tie-in novels by author Dan Parkinson published in 1997–1999 featured the Jack Logan character from the television series.

1991 Portuguese presidential election

Presidential elections were held in Portugal on 13 January 1991.

The re-election of the hugely popular Mário Soares was never in doubt, specially after the then-ruling PSD, led by Prime Minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva announced its support. Therefore, the election held on 13 January 1991 was a landslide, and no second round was needed.

As the election of a left-wing candidate was assured, other left-wing parties, the Portuguese Communist Party and the People's Democratic Union, presented their own candidates. The communists presented Carlos Carvalhas, who had been Assistant General Secretary of the Party a year before (Álvaro Cunhal was the secretary-general). Carvalhas would later be elected secretary-general, in 1992.

On the right, as the Social Democratic Party supported Soares, the Democratic and Social Centre presented the only right-wing candidate, Basílio Horta.

Mário Soares achieved the majority of the votes in every district of the country, and 295 of the then 305 municipalities. His score was the biggest ever in a presidential election in Portugal.

Electoral system
Any Portuguese citizen over 35 years old has the opportunity to run for president. In order to do so it is necessary to gather between 7,500 and 15,000 signatures and submit them to the Portuguese Constitutional Court.

According to the Portuguese Constitution, to be elected, a candidate needs a majority of votes. If no candidate gets this majority there will take place a second round between the two most voted candidates.

Official candidates

 * Mário Soares, Incumbent President since 1986 and eligible for a second term, supported by the Socialist Party, and tacitly by the Social Democratic Party;
 * Basílio Horta, Minister in previous governments, supported by the Democratic and Social Centre;
 * Carlos Carvalhas, supported by the Portuguese Communist Party and Ecologist Party "The Greens";
 * Carlos Manuel Marques, supported by the People's Democratic Union;

Decided not to run

 * Francisco Lucas Pires, Former leader of the Democratic and Social Centre (1983-1986);

International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration

The International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) consists of a joint effort to collect and disseminate databases containing DNA and RNA sequences. It involves the following computerized databases: NIG's DNA Data Bank of Japan (Japan), NCBI's GenBank (USA) and the EMBL-EBI's European Nucleotide Archive (EMBL). New and updated data on nucleotide sequences contributed by research teams to each of the three databases are synchronized on a daily basis through continuous interaction between the staff at each the collaborating organizations.

All of the data in INSDC is available for free and unrestricted access, for any purpose, with no restrictions on analysis, redistribution, or re-publication of the data. This policy has been a foundational principle of the INSDC since its inception. The official policy statement can be found at http://www.insdc.org/. Since the 1990s, most of the world's major scientific journals have required that sequence data be deposited in an INSDC database as a pre-condition for publication.

The DDBJ/EMBL-EBI/GenBank synchronization is maintained according to a number of guidelines which are produced and published by an International Advisory Board. The guidelines consist of a common definition of the feature tables for the databases, which regulate the content and syntax of the database entries, in the form of a common DTD (Document Type Definition).

The syntax is called INSDSeq and its core consists of the letter sequence of the gene expression (amino acid sequence) and the letter sequence for nucleotide bases in the gene or decoded segment. In a DBFetch operation shows a typical INSD entry at the EMBL-EBI database; the same entry at NCBI.

Kamov Ka-26

The Kamov Ka-26 (NATO reporting name Hoodlum) is a Soviet light utility helicopter with co-axial rotors.

Development
The Ka-26 entered production in 1969 and 816 were built. A variant with a single turboshaft engine is the Ka-126. A twin-turboshaft–powered version is the Ka-226. (All the Ka-26/126/128/226 variants are code-named by NATO as "Hoodlum").

Design
The fuselage of the Ka-26 consists of a fixed, bubble-shaped cockpit containing the pilot and co-pilot, plus a removable, variable box available in medevac, passenger-carrying and crop duster versions. The helicopter can fly with or without the box attached for flexibility.

It is powered by two 325 hp (239 kW) Vedeneyev M-14V-26 radial engines mounted in outboard nacelles.

The Ka-26 is small enough to land on a large truck bed. The reciprocating engines are more responsive than turboshaft engines, but require more maintenance. It runs mostly at 95% power in crop dusting with usually excess payload, leaving little reserve power for emergencies. Due to frequent overloads, the interconnect shaft joining the two engines is prone to breakage and requires frequent inspection.

The standard instrumentation of the Ka-26, like larger naval Kamovs, may be overkill for civilian or crop dusting use. The 18-dials cockpit panel masks a part of the right-downwards view, needed to avoid telephone and power lines at low altitudes. The instrument panel may be simplified to retain the six main dials. As there is a low rotor clearance at the aircraft front, it is approached from the rear when the rotors are turning.

Due to the limitations of the Ka-26, USSR and Romania agreed under the Comecon trade to build a single-turboshaft engine version, the Kamov Ka-126, with better aerodynamics and range.

Operational history
The Ka-26 was used and only used by some Warsaw Pact armies in the light paratroop or airborne role, no besprutning but its slow (150 km/h) cruise speed compared with the Mi-2 (220 km/h) limits its military use. However, its shorter length (7.75 m) compared with the Mil Mi-2 (11.9 m) and smaller rotor diameter (13 m vs. 14.6 m) are advantageous when operating in an urban area. It has a longer range than the Mil-2 as well. The Ka-26 is eminently useful for crop dusting. The coaxial main rotor configuration, which makes the Ka-26 small and agile, also results in a delicate airflow pattern under the helicopter, providing a thorough, yet mild distribution of chemicals onto plants. The Ka-26 is often used to spray grape farms in Hungary, where conventional "main rotor and tail rotor" layout helicopters would damage or up-root the vine-stocks with their powerful airflow. Hungarian Kamov operators claim that coaxial rotors of the Ka-26 creates an airflow which allows pesticides to settle underneath, rather than on top of, the leaves, this means a much more effective distribution of pesticides, as most pests and parasites do not live on the top side of foliage. Additionally, the coaxial vortex system is symmetrical, allowing the distribution of the pesticide to be more uniform.

On 30 June 2020, Moldovan police and prosecutors closed down an illegal factory producing unlicensed copies of the Ka-26. The factory had a production line with ten air frames in various stages of completion that were intended for sale to clients in former Soviet countries.

Variants

 * Ka-26 Hoodlum-A: One- or two-crew utility light helicopter, powered by two 325-hp (239-kW) VMK (Vedeneyev) M-14V-26 radial engines. 850 built.
 * Ka-26SS: NOTAR technology testbed for the Ka-118 fitted with tail jet beams.
 * Ka-126 Hoodlum-B: One- or two-crew utility light helicopter, powered by one 720-shp (537-kW) OMKB "Mars" (Glushenkov) TVD-100 turboshaft engine. First flown in 1986, built and developed by Industria Aeronautică Română in Romania. 2 prototypes and 15 series helicopter built.
 * V-60: A prototype light armed escort helicopter based on the Ka-126.
 * Ka-128: One prototype, powered by a 722-shp (538-kW) Turbomeca Arriel 1D1 turboshaft engine.
 * Kamov Ka-226: Six- or seven-seat utility helicopter, powered by two 450-shp (335-kW) Rolls-Royce (Allison) 250-C20R/2 turboshaft engines.

Stefano delle Chiaje

Stefano Delle Chiaje (25 April 1794 – 18 December 1860) was an Italian zoologist, botanist, anatomist and physician. Delle Chiaje studied medicine in Naples, where he was a pupil of Giuseppe Saverio Poli. Together they started compiling books on the bivalves and the gastropod molluscs of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. He later taught pathology and performed research in the field of malacology. He erected the genus of nemertean worms Polia, naming it in honour of Poli, and described Polia lineata and Polia siphunculus. The latter has since been synonymised with Cerebratulus marginatus, but Delle Chiaje's description shows an understanding of the animal's anatomy and recognition of its constituent parts that was missing among many of his contemporaries.

He made a study of the skeletons and detached bones found during the excavations of the buried city of Pompeii, making deductions on the health of the population, their characters and occupations, the types of injuries they suffered and the skill of their surgeons.

He is also remembered for his research in the field of botany, especially medicinal plants, and of zoology, with particular reference to the taxonomy of invertebrates of the Kingdom of Naples. In 1842 he was admitted as an associate to the Accademia nazionale delle scienze in Rome. From 1846 to 1860 he was the curator of the Museo di Anatomia Umana at Naples.

Taxon named in his honor
The brittle star Amphiura chiajei was named in his honour.

Taxa named by Stefano delle Chiaje

 * Amphipholis squamata, the brooding snake star and the dwarf brittle star.

When the party split into a pro-Soviet and a pro-Beijing wing in 1964, he became the leader of the pro-Soviet wing. He agreed to help Che Guevara incite a revolution in Bolivia in 1966, but later changed his mind. Aleida March (Che's widow) blames Monje for the death of her husband.

Monje Molina died on January 15, 2019, of pneumonia in Moscow.

Kamov Ka-20

The Kamov Ka-20 (NATO reporting name Harp) was a Soviet twin-engined prototype helicopter designed and built by Kamov that led to the Ka-25 family of helicopters, it was developed, during the early Cold War to counter United States Navy submarines.

Design and development
Developed from the earlier Ka-15 to meet a 1958 Soviet Navy requirement for a heavy shipborne helicopter, the Ka-20 had the similar twin contra-rotating, three-blade rotors of the earlier Ka-15 design and was powered by two 670 kW turboshaft engines. The Ka-20 was built to demonstrate the feasibility of mounting the turboshaft engines above the cabin and it had no mission equipment or corrosion protection although it was fitted with a nose-mounted radome.

The Ka-20 first became known outside the Soviet Union at the 1961 Tushino Aviation Day display where a Ka-20 was demonstrated fitted with dummy missiles on the cabin sides. The design was developed as the Ka-25 anti-submarine helicopter, it's Soviet Naval Air Force code name was assigned the "Hormone".

List of malacologists

This is a list of malacologists, scientists who study mollusks, such as snails, clams, cephalopods, and others, in a discipline named malacology. People who specialize in studying only or primarily the shells of mollusks are sometimes called conchologists instead of malacologists. Many of these malacologists are notable for having named species and other taxa of mollusks.

This list focuses primarily on people who study or studied recent taxa of mollusks rather than fossil mollusks, so only a few paleontologists are included here. The list also includes researchers who devoted some of their research effort to malacology and some to other sciences.

Considering that mollusks are such a very large and diverse phylum of invertebrates, malacology in general is greatly understaffed in its research efforts. For example, there is no living malacological expert who can properly identify all the species of Onchidiidae (about 143 species). There are also not enough malacologists studying freshwater snails.

Merge to Ka-25?
The gist of this article should be moved to the Varaints block of the Ka-25 article as there was only one buiult and it was directly related to the Ka-25 as a demonstrator for the dynamic component layout.Petebutt (talk) 06:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I've put my money wqhere my mouth is and incorporated Ka-20 into the Ka-25 articlePetebutt (talk) 06:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Having looked at the Kamov Ka-20 article, there does seem to be room for expansion. I can't read Italian, so I don't know if the content is worth anything, and the text there is uncited. WP is WP:NOTPAPER, so we have a little more leeway in covering closely-related types on separate artcles. I'm going to post a note about this at WT:AIR to get some other perspectives, and might even add a Split tag here, if warranted. The real question is whether the Ka-20 was merely a minimum-change prototype of the Ka-25, or a wholly-separate airframe built (or possibly converted from something else) to test some Ka-25 components? As written, the latter seems to be the case here. - BilCat (talk) 07:12, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The Ka-20 was actually a prototype of the Ka-25 but only really for dynamic components as it didn't carry any mission equipment and wasn't capable of shipboard operations, and only resembled the Ka-25.Petebutt (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * here is a google translation of it:Kamov Ka-20

l 'Kamov Ka-20' (NATO code name "Harp '- harp) was a helicopter pilot Soviet conducted at the end of  fifties from ' Technical OKB 938 directed by Nikolai Kamov Il'ic.

Not much is known of the plan if not for his subsequent development of the series, the Ka-25.

The project stems from a specific request of the fifties issued by Voenno-Morskoje flot SSSR, the Navy dell 'Soviet Union, which provide a helicopter  anti submarine that could be used by coastal naval bases that can be loaded. L ' OKB 938 Kamov said the project of a compact helicopter rotors in coaxial counter, developed by the 1958, when he was officially commissioned, but only shown to the public in At the military parade of the 1961 as it was accustomed to turning 'Moscow airport-Tušino. At that time observers of the NATO gave him the initials presumably Ka-20 and codename Harp

The Ka-20 was characterized by a compact design and choice of two coaxial rotors counter tripala driven by a pair of turboalbero Glushenkov, a typical configuration of the production remained Kamov. The front was stocky, with a large cargo compartment behind the cockpit, presumably two-seater, as the next Ka-25, which went back into a strong beam tail ends in a horizontal plane Trider. In front, under the muzzle, was placed in a lump found in the area of electronic detection equipment, complemented by a similar more modest place in the beam tail. The landing gear, whose function was essentially to keep the Ka-20 in a horizontal position when it was grounded, was endowed before Quadricycle small wheels under the muzzle and after two more big put all ' superscript two side legs, supported by these towers linked to main building. During the military parade in Moscow-Tušino of 1961 were placed two large missiles, probably only of pretense, the sides of the front structure.

 * The Ka-20 was actually a prototype of the Ka-25 but only really for dynamic components as it didn't carry any mission equipment and wasn't capable of shipboard operations, and only resembled the Ka-25.
 * That's generally enough differences to warrant a separate article. - BilCat (talk) 23:24, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Dont see why it cant be a separate article as it was a prototype. See how the article develops if after a few years it hasnt improved then it can be looked at again. MilborneOne (talk) 17:17, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
