What does BOGIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A wheeled framework mounted beneath a railway carriage or other vehicle, allowing it to turn and support the weight of the body above.
A bogie carries several wheels together on its own frame, which pivots so a long railway carriage or locomotive can navigate curves smoothly instead of the whole vehicle turning as one rigid unit. Engineers rely on bogies to spread heavy loads more evenly across the track and to absorb some of the shock of uneven rails. The same word is sometimes used more loosely for other wheeled undercarriages, such as those on heavy trucks or aircraft landing gear.
How BOGIE is used
A technical term from railway and vehicle engineering, rarely heard outside that context.
- The train derailed after a bogie failed on the sharp curve.
