a type of lightweight, four-wheeled carriage in which the front and back passenger seats face each other
{i} Lev Davidovich Landau (1908-68), Russian scientist, Nobel prize winner; family name
a four-wheel covered carriage with a roof divided into two parts (front and back) that can be let down separately Soviet physicist who worked on low temperature physics (1908-1968)
The term "Landau" was applied to the 1962 Thunderbird 2-door hardtop body style with a padded vinyl roof and landau "S" bars The model would remain in production through 1971, being offered in a 4-door version as well starting in 1968 See also: Special Landau In addition, Lincoln (and Continental) 4-door hardtops from 1958 through 1960 were referred to as "Landaus" They had a traditional all-steel roof and did not have decorative "S" bars
a four-wheel covered carriage with a roof divided into two parts (front and back) that can be let down separately
A four-wheeled carriage with a folding two-part hood, the front and back halves of which can be raised and lowered independantly Originally from Landau, Germany The Canoe Landau has a rounded underbody, which appears lightly built, compared to the more angular Shelborne Landau in which the underbody mirrors the shape of the seating See an advert showing a Kinross Canoe Landau built for His Highness, The Rajah of Jowar in 1871 or this Canoe Landau on the right hand side of the Long Saloon showroom
A four-wheeled covered vehicle, the top of which is divided into two sections which can be let down, or thrown back, in such a manner as to make an open carriage
Enclosed carriage with divided top that can be thrown back or let down and raised seat for driver
born Jan. 22, 1908, Baku, Azerbaijan, Russian Empire died April 1, 1968, Moscow, Russia, U.S.S.R. Soviet physicist. After graduating from Leningrad State University, he studied at Niels Bohr's institute in Copenhagen. He is known for his work in low-temperature physics, atomic and nuclear physics, and solid-state, stellar-energy, and plasma physics. For explaining the phenomenon of liquid helium, he was awarded a 1962 Nobel Prize. For his work in many areas of physics, his name is applied to Landau diamagnetism, Landau levels, Landau damping, the Landau energy spectrum, Landau cuts, and the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Moscow
