The term cock and valve are used interchangeably in the English language. The term cock has in large been replaced with valve with no functional difference between the two.

How do you open the drain cock on a 2000 jeep Cherokee?

It's behind the passenger side headlight Bezel. Remove the grill, then you can remove the bezel and you will see it. It's almost impossible to turn due to the limited space around it (nice engineering Jeep). If you have a set of 90 degree needle nose piers you should be ok. I didn't and had to really fight with it.


What is the origin of a cockpit in aircraft?

A cockpit is the area, usually near the front of an aircraft, from which a pilot controls the aircraft. Most modern cockpits are enclosed, except on some small aircraft, and cockpits on large airliners are also physically separated from the cabin.Cockpit as a term for the pilot's compartment in an aircraft first appeared in 1914. From about 1935 cockpit also came to be used informally to refer to the driver's seat of a car, especially a high performance one, and this is official terminology in Formula One. The term is most likely related to the sailing term for the coxswain's station in a Royal Navy ship, and later the location of the ship's rudder controls.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockpit_(aviation)Also, consider the slang meaning in English of "cock", in context of holding a control stick in an aircraft that is located between ones legs.
