WHAT IS A GANGWAY IN THE SCOOPE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.215.148.33 (talk) 15:52, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/gangway Gangways for Mechanical engineering might mean the walkway built for maintenance workers to get around mechanical plant and equipment. Gangways are also articulating ramps or bridges to get from a dock to a ship or from a pontoon to the land. Mechanical engineers may be involved in the mechanism of articulation to adjust the ramp for tides and swell. 124.177.127.92 (talk) 07:48, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
