Fancy a cylinder, fancy it in a letter, does that show slouching. Sweep and settle, circulate and rejoice, reject a morsel and suffer suffer lightly and in a measure. Search a hindrance, see obligations resemble china, see no more tunes and no more harshness and hardly any virgin.
Had my manuscripts been paper boomerangs they could not have returned with greater accuracy to their unhappy dispatcher. Oh, the vileness and utter degradation of the moment when the stale little cylinder of closely written pages, which seemed so fresh and full of promise a few days ago, is handed in by a remorseless postman!
The slip of iron is made red hot, placed between a pair of rollers, one of which is convex and the other concave, and comes out in a semicircular trough shape; again heated, and again pressed by smaller rollers, by which the cylinder is nearly completed.
There, powerful cranes raised it, and held it suspended over the mouth of the cylinder. It was a fearful moment! What if the chains should break under its enormous weight? The sudden fall of such a body would inevitably cause the gun-cotton to explode!
The actual power exerted by an engine cannot be deduced from its nominal power, neither can the nominal power be deduced from the power actually exerted, or from anything else than the dimensions of the cylinder. The actual horse power being a dynamical unit, and the nominal horse power a measure of capacity of the cylinder, are obviously incomparable things.
Watt describes it as a circular plate of metal, having a spindle fixed across its diameter, the plate being accurately fitted to an aperture in a metal ring of some thickness, through the edgeway of which the spindle is fitted steam-tight, and the ring fixed between the two flanches of the joint of the steam-pipe which is next to the cylinder.
The bridge here, of iron, founded on iron cylinder piers, is for a single track only, and is being taken down bit by bit, and a double track iron bridge on masonry piers substituted.. "From Council Bluffs, the station on the Iowa side of the Missouri River, we left by the Chicago and North Western Railway, which is a well constructed, well equipped, and first class American Railway.
The last adjustments were made, pipes were run from the gas generator to the cylinder, and the hundred pound weight was attached. "Everybody look out now," said Mr. Henderson. "I am going to start the machine and let the gas enter the cylinder. It is a very powerful gas and may break the cylinder. If it does you must all duck." The scientist gave a last look at everything.
At its base the cylinder is prolonged into two little rods, h and h', which plunge into two mercury cups, G and G'. The cut shows that one of the cups, G', is connected to the terminal, B', and the other, G, to the terminal, a', of the other lamp, L'. An inspection of the cut shows just what ensues when an accident happens to the first lamp while burning.
Rand was looking at the Confederate revolvers. Griswold & Grier, Haiman Brothers, Tucker & Sherrod, Dance Brothers & Park, Spiller & Burr there it was: Leech & Rigdon. He tapped it on the cylinder with a finger. "Wasn't it one of those things that killed Lane Fleming?" he asked. "Leech & Rigdon? So I'm told." Cabot hesitated. "Jeff, I saw that revolver, not four hours before Fleming was shot.
