Whistling tunelessly, Hawkes filled out the rest of the form. When it came to REASON FOR APPLICATION, he wrote in, Tracing of missing relative. "That just about covers it," he said finally. "It's a pretty lame application, but if we're lucky we may find him." He rolled the form up, shoved it into a gray metal tube, and dropped it in a slot in the wall. "What happens now?" Alan asked.
This is the way it works: You drop some unbelief into the slot, and you get darkness and fear; doubts, and you get gloom and despondency; disobedience, and you get condemnation; fear, and you get weakness; murmuring, and you get discouragement. Oh, there are many things you can get out of Satan’s machine; and he is very glad to have you get them.
The monstrous cat walked over to one side of the room and coiled itself up under a grating. Everard King came out, and taking the iron handle which I have mentioned, he began to turn it. As he did so the line of bars in the corridor began to pass through a slot in the wall and closed up the front of this grating, so as to make an effective cage.
A large sized cigar box has been used with excellent success, and for small birds is just the thing. The cover of the box in any case should work on a hinge of some sort. The trap is easily made. The first thing to be done is to cut an upright slot, about two inches in length, through the centre of the backboard, commencing at the upper edge.
Aten pointed, panting, to slide-rail and it took them five minutes to get the plane about that rail and engage a curious contrivance in a slot in the ship's fuselage. "Tommy," said Evelyn, "you're not going to " "Run away? Hardly!" said Tommy. "We're going up. I'm going to fight the fleet with bullets.
The flywheel on the shaft, A, is weighted on one side, so that it causes the hammer to stop at the top of its stroke after working; thus enabling the material to be placed on the anvil before starting the hammer. The movable fulcrum, B, consists of a stud, free to slide in a slot, C, in the framing, and held in position by a nut and toothed washer.
It is evident that this special alteration of the stroke could not be obtained by altering the throw of a simple crank and connecting rod; but by placing the slot, C, parallel with the direction of the rocking lever, E, when the latter is in its lowest position, with the hammer resting on the anvil, and with the crank at the top of its stroke, this lowest position of the rocking lever and hammer is made constant, no matter what position the fulcrum, B, may have in the slot, C. To obtain a short stroke, and consequently a light blow, the fulcrum is moved in the slot toward the hammer, G; and to produce a long stroke and heavy blow the fulcrum is moved in the opposite direction.
The method is still crude. Perhaps we may expect a further development of the "slot" machine. By dropping a cent in the slot one can get his weight, his age, a piece of chewing-gum, a bit of candy, or a shock that will energize his nervous system.
In the area immediately beyond the Dome, the solidly positioned connection rails radiated away. The general gestured for the captain to lead. The wind buffeted them. Inside the surface suits it was quiet. "David?" the general asked. "Yes, sir?" Captain Arnold said. He was fastening his safety line in the keyed slot. He fumbled with it for a moment before the wind. "You on suit communications?"
From the sill of each door of fine stone worn by the tread of centuries a low wall about three feet high began; in this wall was a groove or slot, repeated above in the beam by which the wall of each facade was supported.
