Tandem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tandem is a Latin adverb meaning "at length" or "finally". In English, the term was originally used for two or more draft horses harnessed one behind another as opposed to side-by-side. By extension the term now refers to any team (of animals or people) working together one behind another, or more generally any group of persons or objects working together.
By further extension the term tandem is frequently used as a noun to mean an item of equipment, such as a tandem bicycle, built for a team working in tandem. Alternatively, tandem has been used in the real estate world to describe items such as lengthwise two-or-more-car garages, etc.
Tandem may also refer to:
- Tandem signaling
- Tandem skydiving
- Tandem Computers
- Tandem accelerator - see Particle accelerator
- Tandem bicycle
- Tandem Publishing Co - see Universal-Tandem Publishing Co Ltd
- Tandem, West Yorkshire, a district of Kirklees
- A method of learning languages based on mutual language exchange between tandem partners (ideally each learner is a native speaker in the language the proponent wants to learn)
